We urge those selecting and serving on the committee that will chart Guilderland’s future to think about what would both enhance the town’s sense of community as well as help quell climate change. The two are not unrelated.
GUILDERLAND — Community Caregivers is looking for volunteers.
Volunteers at the not-for-profit, Guilderland-based organization provide older neighbors with friendly calls, visits, transportation to medical appointments, and grocery shopping.
The tax rate for Guilderland residents will go up 4.84 percent rather than the 2.98 percent predicted last spring. This is because the taxable valuation in town decreased by nearly $80 million from the $4 billion estimated in April. So Guilderland residents will pay $18.20 per $1,000 of their property’s assessment.
In addition to the garden, the tours include the metamorphosis room and the butterfly catching adventure. A Butterfly Release Celebration will be held on Friday, Aug. 13, as the butterflies are set free.
