Annual Tennis Clinic Results

This year, 28 students and 6 high school assistant coaches participated in our annual tennis clinic. Thank you to David Green, CHS tennis coach, all high school age coaches and students for making our third annual tennis clinic a great success. It was free for East Greenbush School District students, grades 3-9. We plan to do the same next year in early June again.

Donate your new or gently used shoes, sandals or boots.

We collect footwear of all kinds and donate them to women in other countries to start their own businesses. Our affiliate organization teaches them entrepreneurial skills and helps them get started. They can use male, female and children’s shoes, boots, sneakers, slippers, flip flops etc. As of November 2023, we have many more shoes to collect before we complete this drive. Contact Noreen at [email protected] or Lynne at 518-577-4999.

Thank you Vets

Each November, Americans remember and honor our Veterans. East Greenbush Kiwanians did so by collecting food items at our meeting and delivering them to the Veterans food pantry on Holland Ave., Albany. Contact us if you’d like to contribute this year.
