History talk on Duane Lake offered
On Monday, September 16th our neighbor, David Vincent, will tell the story of Duane Lake at Bishop Scully Hall, which is located behind the high school at 1735 Alexander Rd, Delanson. The program starts at 7:00 pm and is open to the public.
This program promises to be a very interesting and entertaining account for anyone who lives in the Duane Lake community. Dave and Anne have lived on the lake for more than three decades. He is a member of the Duanesburg Historical Society and former President of the Duane Lake Association.

Here's your chance to mix and mingle with your Duane Lake neighbors, enjoy picnic fare, and learn what's new with the Duane Lake Association . . . and there is plenty!
The venue is the same as last year: Van Patten Mill Park, about a quarter mile down Depot Road from Stewarts.
We gather at about noon and enjoy hot dogs, hamburgers (and veggie-burgers, surprisingly good) and lots of family favorites shared by your neighbors.
We're likely to be ready for the annual meeting part of the day at about 1:30.
