Webster Schroeder Theater Company will present Little Women

17 Apr

Little Women, the classic tale of love, loss, heartbreak and growing up, will come to the Webster Schroeder stage in four shows April 25 to 27.

Adapted by Thomas Hischak based on the book by Louisa May Alcott, Little Women follows the adventures of Jo (Veronica Sanberg), Meg (Emily Schiffhauer), Beth (Kathryn Sullo), and Amy March (JimmaLy Ortega) as they grow up in Civil War America. The beloved story of the March sisters is timeless and deals with issues as relevant today as when they were written. Click here to see the whole cast list.

The Webster Schroeder Theater Company will present Little Women on Thursday, Friday and Saturday April 25, 26 and 27 at 7 p.m., plus a matinee performance on Saturday at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 each and may be purchased on the Schroeder Theater Company website.

How to fill your home with love: become a Lollypop foster parent

16 Apr

Note: I had this blog all written and ready to post even before I learned today that Lollypop Farm is expecting to receive more than 80 dogs from a local hoarding case. They really need foster parents to lighten the load. Please read this blog, and consider becoming a foster.

Many of you know that I foster cats and kittens for Lollypop Farm. I’ve written about the experience in my blog and talk about it all the time at social gatherings, because I love it so much.

Right now, Lollypop has a lot of families officially registered as fosters, but most of those families are not very active. So the need is great, and constant (think about the recent hoarder case in Penfield where the Humane Society rescued more than 50 cats), and many more fosters are needed. Often the animals which are brought in need time to get stronger, bigger or need medical respite before they can be adopted out.

That’s where we come in. Fosters might stay with you just for a week, maybe as long as a few months. But every single one of them just needs a place to be loved and cared for until they find their forever homes.

Lollypop sent out a plea last week asking foster families to tell about their experiences. I wrote mine about the cats we foster, but it could have very easily been about dogs, rabbits, even hamsters. Here’s what I wrote:

* * *

My husband and I have had cats all our lives, so when our last feline friend, Lily, passed away a few years ago, she left a huge hole in our hearts. But we were newly retired and knew we wanted to do a lot of traveling. It really wouldn’t be fair to get another cat if we planned to be gone for long stretches of time. 

Becoming a kitty foster parent was the perfect alternative. By fostering a cat (or even better, KITTENS!), our hearts and home would be filled with love again, but we would still have the flexibility to travel. 

Whenever I tell people that I’m a foster, the immediate reaction is, “Oh, I could NEVER do that. I wouldn’t be able to give them up.” It was from these folks that I learned the term “foster fail.” Yes, I say, it is hard. I fall in love with every foster that we welcome into our home, and I cry every time I have to say goodbye. But I know that for every kitty I return to Lollypop, there are dozens of others awaiting loving foster homes, and I can provide that. 

So far, the turnaround has been brief; since we began fostering last fall, I think we’ve only been “cat-less” for a few days. I believe the record is less than 24 hours. 

Two of the cats we’ve fostered are part of Lollypop’s MaryEllen Program, which is another level of wonderfulness. Cats in this program still belong to their original owner and are temporarily entrusted to Lollypop’s care due to some family emergency or difficulty. I love knowing that my being able to provide continuing loving care for their feline family member removes a little bit of stress from what must be a difficult time.  

One of the best things about being a Lollypop Farm foster mom is the incredible support we get from the foster team. Despite the great volume of critters passing through their offices every day, they treat each one like it’s their favorite. Foster families are never short of supplies — food, litter, toys — which are a simple phone call away. Staff members patiently answer your questions (and I’ve had a lot of pretty dumb ones) and address any of your concerns. And if there’s ever an issue which requires veterinarian attention, the clinic staff (equally amazing) is there for you. 

When I tell people that I’m a Lollypop foster parent, they very often respond, ”Oh, that is SUCH a caring thing to do!” Of course I agree with them, nod, and thank them for their kind words. I DON’T tell them that a huge part of my motivation to be a foster parent is purely selfish. 

I love cats. I need cats in my life. The fact that there are cats out there that need me as well is just a wonderful bonus. 

* * *

Please consider becoming a Lollypop foster family. It’s extremely rewarding. Click here to go to the Lollypop website to find out more and fill out the foster parent interest form.

Even if you can’t become foster right now, there are other ways you can help: 1) donate funds to help assure that animals in need get plenty of food, medical and behavioral support. 2) donate supplies; in addition to towels, blankets, and flat sheets there are many supplies that are needed to work with shelter animals.

Webster Chamber Names Turner Auto Care April Business of the Month

15 Apr

Congratulations to Turner Auto Care on being named the Webster Chamber of Commerce Business of the Month for April 2024. The award was presented at the Chamber’s Breakfast Before Business meeting on March 22.

Turner Auto Care is well known for being one of Webster/Penfield’s finest import specialty repair shops. Located at 1411 Empire Blvd. since 1972, Turner is celebrating its 55th year in business this year.

The Turner business was founded by three Turner brothers. In 2011, Scott Bartlett joined Turner Auto Care, working with Robert Turner, who retired in 2014. Scott’s wife Vicki Bartlett joined the team in 2016, continuing a family-owned business structure.

Upon presenting the award, Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Barry Howard said of Turner, “they believe (that) priorities of education, trust, and exceeding expectations develop customer feelings of being welcomed, safe, and valued.” In addition to being a Chamber member, Turner Auto Care supports several community non-profit agencies including the Webster Girl Scouts, Greece Residents Assisting Stray Pets, GirlRock! and Webster Thomas Titan Service Scholars.

The Webster Chamber of Commerce presents a Business of the Month award to one of their member businesses at each of their monthly breakfast meetings. It’s one way the Chamber helps keep their member businesses and organizations visible throughout the Webster community.

The next breakfast meeting is this Friday April 26, beginning at 7 a.m. at the Webster Recreation Center. Network with as many as 90 business and organizational leaders before breakfast, enjoy an informative program and then take part in the “pass-the-mic” time, when everyone has an opportunity to be visible.

Visitors and members are welcome. Please register here.

Another great Community Arts Day in the books

13 Apr

A thousand thank-yous to everyone who came by my table at Community Arts Day (CAD) on Saturday to say hi! I know of at least a few people who came to the event just to meet me (which was cool!) and several others who just happened upon it, with a “I LOVE your blog!” as they walked by. I might have even introduced it to a few who’d never heard of it before. Thank you all for your kind words.

I was delighted to be a part of CAD this year, which as you know is one of my favorite annual events. As always, it drew some really big crowds (I think the rainy, windy weather helped) and I was pleased to see a lot of people checking out the community agency displays and learning about local businesses and the services they provide. In particular, I always enjoy watching kids play with the vintage toys brought by the Webster Museum and try to dial a rotary phone.

If you and your family were able to spend some time there today, you know what a great time it is and were amazed by the pieces of artwork created by our very talented school children. If you couldn’t make it, no sweat. I got your back. Click here to see a really big gallery of photos, in which I tried to capture the wide variety of delightfulness that is Community Arts Day.

Congratulations to all of the organizers for another great event, and thank you to all of the volunteers that helped in hundreds of ways to make this year’s Community Arts Day another success.

Hope to see you all again next year!

Reasons why Community Arts Day is the best event EVER

11 Apr

A few days ago I posted a blog about this weekend’s upcoming Community Arts Day. Like most of my blogs, it did a pretty good job outlining all of the fun stuff there will be to see and do. But that blog fell far short in one big way: it didn’t make it at all clear how much I LOVE this annual event.

First, the details again: Community Arts Day, held at Webster Schroeder High School, is a family-friendly festival which showcases the musical and artistic talents of Webster School District K-12 students, and invites dozens of community groups to display their great contributions to our community.

The event always draws a lot of parents and children, because every single school, from the elementary to the high schools, has its own artwork display. The works range from sculptures and metalwork to collages and foil paintings, and all grades are represented. I love wandering through the halls to check out the range of skills, and am always impressed by the colors and designs and creativity I see, regardless of the child’s age. And the artwork on display from the high school AP students? Just blows. Me. Away. Every year.

As a blogger, I also like to peruse all of the information tables set up by community groups. I greet old friends from the Webster Public Library, Webster Museum and the Friends of Webster Trails. I pick up flyers from organizations like the Gathering Place to see what events they have coming up. And I learn about agencies I didn’t know anything about before.

I LOVE catching all of the different dance and music performances. But there are so many of them, sometimes happening at the same time, that I find myself running from recital hall to the auditorium and back again. This year’s schedule is no different, either. It features lots of dance groups, elementary school music ensembles, the Schroeder Theater Company and much, much more. (See the entire schedule on the CAD Facebook page.)

I LOVE the bake sale. Unfortunately, the prices are so reasonable and the selection so varied that the treats often double as my lunch. But if I decide to have a hot dog or pizza instead, I can get those as well at the cafeteria.

I like watching the kids at the craft table making sand art; wandering through the art vendors to see if I can pick up some early Christmas gifts; and watching the Webster’s Got Talent student talent show (scheduled this year from 2 to 3 p.m.). I also always check out the gymnasium where the SparX team demonstrates their latest robot.

I like that the Webster Marching Band always sets up a bottle and can drive in the parking lot during the event (10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) so I can take advantage of that while I’m there.

Basically, I love that this is such a family-friendly event which doesn’t have to cost you a dime to bring the kids to. Even if you just stop by for an hour, you’ll have great fun and learn so much more about the great resources — and talent — our community has to offer.

Community Arts Day will be held this Saturday April 13 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Webster Schroeder High School, 850 Ridge Rd. Admission is free, and there’s plenty of parking.

Hi, can we meet?

11 Apr
6794

Just another quick reminder today that I’ll be setting up a meet-and-greet table at Community Arts Day this Saturday, April 13 at Webster Schroeder High School. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and I’m planning to be there all day.

The reason I’m doing this is simple. I know a lot of you out there are reading and enjoying my blog, but I’ve met very relatively few of you. I’m hoping to change that on Saturday with this invitation to come on out to Community Arts Day and stop by my table to chat.

Bring along your questions, blog ideas, flyers for your group’s upcoming special event, or that clipping you have on the fridge of your favorite blog (I like to think someone has done that!). Bring along your suggestions and your complaints.

But most of all, bring you. Because while I can see a lot of statistics that tell me you’re one of my regular readers, statistics are, by their very nature, impersonal. I would like to meet you. Look for my table just inside the entrance nearest the gymnasium. I’ll be right on the corner. (P.S. Please be forewarned; if I have met you before I will probably forget your name, ’cause that’s what I do. So help me out!)

Make sure to check out today’s follow-up blog which has more detail about Community Arts Day, and make a plan to stop by with your family, whether you care to visit my table or not. Because it’s a wonderful day which brings all of the great things about our community together in one place.

Got glasses?

9 Apr

Don’t throw those eclipse glasses out!

After the blog I posted yesterday about how happy I am that the total solar eclipse is over and done with, I received several emails from readers telling me about several places where you can recycle your glasses for a good cause.

Another total solar eclipse will be happening in October, which will pass over parts of southern Chile and southern Argentina. Several local agencies are collecting gently used eclipse glasses to distribute among the schoolchildren there who might not have easy access to glasses.

Here are the places I’ve heard about so far (if you know of any others, shoot me an email):

  • The Gathering Place and the United Church of Christ, both at 570 Klem Rd. Collection boxes are located in the narthex and outside the west entrance. Please bring them in by the end of next week.
  • Webster Recreation Center, 1350 Chiyoda Dr.
  • The Webster Rotary Club
  • The Webster Public Library, 980 Ridge Rd., is collecting them in the lobby.
  • The Warby Parker location at Eastview Mall, which is collecting for Astronomers Without Borders

Please make sure the glasses are undamaged and in good condition, and thank you for passing along the love!

Boy, am I glad THAT’s over!

8 Apr

Finally, the much-ballyhooed total solar eclipse has come and gone, and while there was maaaaaybe some increased traffic in our area, we all pretty much survived no worse for wear.

I don’t know about you, but I’m sure glad it’s over.

I mean, for the last few days I couldn’t turn on the radio or TV news without hearing the announcer giving dire warnings about not using proper sunglasses, or dire warnings about the near-apocalyptic traffic problems we could expect. You couldn’t even avoid it when you were traveling 104 or the Thruway, where every half mile there was another flashing sign warning of “severe” traffic delays.

Fortunately, those severe traffic delays didn’t seem to materialize (at least not around here), leaving us with just one main thing to gripe about: the weather.

It certainly could have been sunnier, and granted, it would have been nice to actually have to use those funny sunglasses to see the partial eclipse. It would have been cool to see the crescent-shaped shadows and the sun’s corona. Having said that, it WAS pretty neat to watch the light noticeably fade, and to experience the darkness in the middle of the day. People around us actually cheered when the totality passed, thankful for the show.

I enjoyed the spectacle with old and new friends at a home off of Schlegel Rd. One of the more interesting things we experienced was a raucous flock of seagulls which flew over the neighborhood during the pitch darkness, raising an unbelievably huge ruckus which probably reflected their total confusion.

The whole day brought me back to 1969 (I believe), when I was living in Owego, when my mother (who worked at the small-town newspaper) handed us some photo negatives so we could view that year’s partial solar eclipse. In the photo below are my brother Chris (left), my sister Mindy (right) and me in the middle, outside the newspaper office.

Actually, I DO have one more thing to gripe about:

Back before Christmas I thought I was smart to purchase my solar eclipse glasses before they became unavailable. Who knew that in the weeks before The Event you’d be able to pick up a free pair in pretty much every business you entered?

Ah well, the next time a total solar eclipse tracks over Webster, I’ll know better.

*******

Important note: Thanks to everyone who has informed me about the places where you can recycle your glasses. Stay tuned tomorrow for information about how.

Community Arts Day returns on Saturday April 13

6 Apr

It’s as sure a sign of spring as the first robin: The Webster Central School District’s — and the entire Webster community’s — grand show-off day, Community Arts Day, returns to Webster Schroeder High School this Saturday, April 13 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

This very family-friendly festival, which is marking its 47th year, showcases the musical and artistic talents of Webster School District K-12 students, and involves the entire community in a day to celebrate the arts. It was created as a collaborative effort to raise money to encourage and enhance fine arts programs throughout the district. (Below are a few examples of the artwork from previous years. Click here for a full gallery from last year.)

Dozens of activities are planned throughout the day, including art displays, carnival games, crafts, community group exhibits and more. Webster student groups will present musical performances throughout the day, and the Webster’s Got Talent talent show will feature aspiring student singers, musicians, and dancers from 2 to 3 p.m. Community performing groups will fill out the schedule of events, and all the performances are free.

Admission to Community Arts Day is free. Proceeds from concessions, craft, and carnival booth sales will benefit cultural arts programs within the Webster Central School District.  

For a complete schedule of events and map of exhibitors, follow the Community Arts Day Facebook page, where updates will be posted regularly.

By the way, organizers could really use some more volunteers at the event. Just a few hours of your time will help raise funds for your kids’ schools. Student and adult helpers would be more than appreciated! For more information, click here.  

Here’s something new at this year’s Community Arts Day which I particularly wanted to highlight:

This year, the Webster Central PTSA is partnering with the WCSD Music Department to offer a Used Instrument Donation Drive, an opportunity for families to donate their gently used instruments to students who aren’t easily able to afford a new instrument.

The Concert Wear/Coat Drive the WCPTSA does every fall is so successful, this seemed like another wonderful way to help those in need, while spreading the love of music. The school district will cover the cost of repairing any instruments that need repair.

A table will be set up at Community Arts Day where families can drop off their unused instruments, so pack up your old instruments and bring them along!

Also new at this year’s Community Arts Day

ALSO, this year, for the first time, I’ll be setting up a Webster on the Web table, where I’ll just be hanging out, hoping people will stop by to chat and perhaps feed me some good blog ideas.

Please look for my little table and stop by to say hi. If I’m not there, I’ll be wandering around the school with my camera, so watch for me out and about, too!
