Kids Stuff consignment sale in Albany

A couple of local moms are putting together a consignment sale at the Delaware Community School in response to the Pass It On Sale moving to Halfmoon.  Even though the sale is in the Delaware neighborhood, I know many of the local neighborhood families were disappointed when the Pass It On Sale left Albany Academy and so I thought it might be information worth passing on.  The flyer for the sale is attached.  They are still in need of consigners as well.

Maria Lloyd,  our neighbor and culinary wizard whose delicious South American cuisine you may have tasted at the Latin or International Festivals downtown or at the Delmar or Schenectady Farmer's Markets, has given me her new and expanded schedule for this summer, You can find her empenadas, quinoa salad, plantains, tamales and other tasty fare at:

on Sundays from 10-2pm at the Schenectady Green Market located on Jay Street and around City Hall
on Tuesdays from 3-6pm at the New Covenant Presbyterian Church on Western Ave. by CVS. Look for the Farmer's Market sign
on Thursdays from 3-6pm at the SAJCC on Whitehall Rd.

FriendsOfTheMadison- Beat the Heat Special at the Madison Theater - August 3 Midnight Showing of Spaceballs only $5

Subject: FriendsOfTheMadison- Beat the Heat Special at the Madison Theater - August 3 Midnight Showing of Spaceballs only $5

  

Beat the Heat Special at the Madison Theater - August 3 Midnight Showing of Spaceballs only $5

Good news for movie fans without air conditioning. The Madison Theater will be showing the PG rated comedy classic, Spaceballs, at midnight August 3 for only $5 a ticket. Tickets go on sale in front of the theater at 11:30 p.m. At that price, even with the cost of a babysitter, this event is a real treat. Not only will you be cooled off and entertained, but you will be helping raise money for future Upper Madison improvements, such as plantings, a business directory, upgrading monument park next to Center Station, and repairing Madison Theater's facade.

So, please spread the word and us make this event a sell-out. Thanks.
