Youth
Coats for Kids Campaign, the annual Golf Fundraiser at the Troy Country Club, was a great success with 148 golfers attending and raising $20,000. The Legislature passed a resolution to purchase 1,000 coats from B. Lodge in Albany, who also offered to donate hats and gloves, which will be distributed through several agencies to needy children. A big thank you goes to B. Lodge for their continued support of Rensselaer County youth.
Aging
The Legislature unanimously approved a resolution put forth by the Department of Aging to purchase furniture for the new Troy Senior Center. Due to supply chain issues, the estimated new opening date is planned for early 2023.
