WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
_____________________

"Keep Your Distance" by Richard Thompson? "Don't Stand So Close to Me" by the Police? "Don't Get Around Much Anymore"? Randy Newman's new "Stay Away"? If these are the songs that won't leave you alone, you're not alone. But as we continue social distancing, let's take comfort from the fact that our planet is getting a chance to catch its breath, and that maybe we learn a few more good lessons in Earth Appreciation. This month, check out how much you can reduce your carbon footprint with an electric vehicle. Get out on the Hudson and store your kayak near the river. And Thursday, May 7 (tonight!), join us on Zoom for our monthly meeting at 7:00. It's "virtually" open to the public, and we'd love to have you! 

COVID-19 CHANGES EVERYTHING
HERE'S WHAT'S CHANGED (FOR NOW): 
_______________________

The following is a little round-up of Covid-related changes in our neighborhood:
  • At Patriot's Park, garbage cans were removed due to hazardous waste being dumped. Bins will be replaced once social distancing is lifted.
  • The community garden at Paulding school is on pause until further notice
  • The TaSH Drive-thru market completed its third week with twelve vendors. There is a very organized pre-order contactless system where attendees can expect to make the rounds within 15 minutes per vehicle, but still have access to fresh local food and support our farmers/vendors. The market will remain at Parking lot F throughout the month of May, and possibly longer. http://tashfarmersmarket.org/tash-drive-thru-market
  • Compost bags for our foodscrap recycling program will now be available at the Village Hall lobby from 8:30-4pm (call 914.631.7873 M-F) or the Library M-F 10am-3pm by appointment (914.631.7734 or warnerlibrary@wlsmail.org). Exact change is needed $2/roll. They will no longer be sold at Grass Roots Kitchen. If you are sheltering in place the village will even arrange for delivery! Please email administrator@tarrytowngov.com

    If you'd like to foodscrap,  check out all the information on our website.Then, just fill the bins with your food scraps and bring the filled toters to the drop-off center, located between the Recreation and the Senior Center by Pierson Park. Please note the collection bins will be available for curbside pickup by appointment (info above) at the library M-F 10-3pm starting May 13th.
