Always There's Community Booths for April 2011

On April 16 & 17 ~ Saturday and Sunday ~
Always There is joining the Kiwanis Classic in Kingston.



Quoted from the Daily Freeman...

Race director and Kiwanis member Greg Riley provided an update about the April 17 race, which will celebrate its 29th anniversary after the one-year hiatus.

The race will start on North Front St. and continue through the streets of uptown Kingston, then out to Hurley Ave. for a turnaround back to the finish at Dietz Stadium. Organizers also decided to keep the 2.1-mile fun run.

Riley reiterated the club’s vision to make the Classic a complete community event, not just another weekend road race.

“We want it to be fun for the whole family and something that people will stay around for all day long,” he said. “We want to showcase Kingston and help to stimulate the economy a little. We’re all about raising money to put back into the community, especially through youth programs.”

Riley said the Kiwanis Club provided 20 $1,000 scholarships to graduating seniors at Kingston and John A. Coleman Catholic highs in the recent past. He said the club would like to expand that to include high school cross country runners who would receive a scholarship on athletic merit for use at the college of their choice.

The expo would actually span both days, continuing into Sunday, and possibly including vendors and exhibitors who were interested in one or two-day commitments."... for more on this article, click on the link above.

Throughout the year ~ Always There and its team of dedicated staff give back to the community by booths, volunteering or donating. The Kiwanis Klassic is just one of those many events. Come and visit our booth and support some great causes!

Always There has a booth at the Gardiner Cupcake Festival ~ May 15th, 2011

Every year, Always There participates in community
events through Ulster and Dutchess Counties.
One of the many events, is the GARDINER CUPCAKE FESTIVAL.
Sunday, May 15th 2011 ~ Gardiner, NY ~ 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM
This is a great local community event filled with goodness ~ cupcakes, music and great people.





The one rule to this great event is that any booths (non-food) have to be cupcake themed and have cupcake items. So, Always There has come up with the Always There Cupcake Pinwheels.



The clients at the Adult Day Program are having a grand time decorating the frosting on the cupcakes and making pinwheels. After each one is colored with love and care ~ the clients painstakingly sign their name on the pinwheel. They will be on display and will be given away at the Festival.
