Thank you Inlet flower planting volunteers

Some of Inlet’s Hanging Basket volunteers were, from left, Margie O’Hara, Patty Wittmeyer, and Charlie Herr.

The Town of Inlet Beautification Committee would like to give a Special Thanks to those that met on Tuesday, June 5th at Arrowhead Park to plant the gorgeous hanging baskets throughout the Town and Park.

This event has been taking place for well over 22 years. The project was started by Inlet resident Marylee Kalil, who due to her love of plants, has brought beauty to the Town throughout the summer season.

The plants were purchased from local businesses Zone 3 and Pedals and Petals, and planting materials were purchased from Inlet Department Store/ACE Hardware, making this a true community supported effort.

A Special Thanks goes to Margie O’Hara, Nancy Jennings, Adele Burnett, Charlie Herr, Reggie and Paul Chambers, Jason Pallotta and Mitch Lee for planting, watering and hanging the baskets. Nancy Jennings has volunteered to do the daily watering, but volunteers are always welcomed to join in and help her at anytime.

Memory Walk: Another success for annual event by Patty Wittmeyer

The 2nd Annual Adirondack Memory Walk in Inlet on Saturday, June 18 was again a success.

This year, close to $5,500 was raised through the generosity of all those who walked or donated to our cause. The funds will be shared with the Resource Center for Independent Living (RCIL) and the Alzheimer’s Association and will aid in the purchase of items for the RCIL program in Inlet.

The RCIL program in Inlet is open to seniors on Wednesdays for fun, recreation, and craft work, and offers caregivers some down time.

The event was filled with friendly faces, music for our ears and memories that filled our hearts. Those that had family memories to share wore t-shirts bearing a photograph of their loved ones lost to Alzheimer’s Disease.

They shared their special thoughts with one another-making memories in their memory. That’s the cause, and hopefully there will soon be a cure.

Thank you to those who walked, donated funds, played music, sang, donated for the silent auction, baked, helped organize, dropped off golf carts, and even a porta potty!!

Your help was greatly appreciated.

Donations will continue to be accepted at the Inlet Town Offices or online at: inletalzwalk@kintera.org.
