Composting at Home with Cecily Frazier
Calling all Rhinebeckers:
With spring just around the corner, what better time to learn about composting and gardening?! (...Please can it be spring soon?)
In a followup to the Kiss the Ground screening, Rhinebeck Interact Club is hosting a virtual presentation on February 12th about at-home composting and gardening with guest speaker Cecily Frazier. A longtime Village resident, Cecily is a Master Gardener Volunteer, trained at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County, with 14 years of experience there. This is a great opportunity to learn the basics of organic gardening and start your plan for this spring!

Bike-to-School Day
Please fill out this interest form so we can be in touch as we firm up plans.
We’d planned a Spring 2020 Bike-to-School Day but COVID-19 threw a wrench into our wheel.
In 2019, we did a handful of Bike to School Days. Liz Mazzarella organized a big one in April 2019, starting at Lions Mini Park.
Please do reach out and let us know if you’d like to be involved.
