On Sunday, December 30, HAYC3 will host a meditative Labyrinth Walk at the Armory from Noon to 3 pm.
Measuring approximately 36 feet wide, the labyrinth provides a calming, peaceful start to ready your mind and spirit for the coming New Year.
Labyrinth walkers will enter and exit at the same point, and can always see where they are going as the path is clearly marked on the ground. The labyrinth is not a maze. The purpose of a maze is to lose your way: the labyrinth is designed for you to find your way. It represents a journey to your own center and back out into the world. The design of the labyrinth replicates the floor of Chartres Cathedral in France.
Labyrinth walks should begin at least 30-mintues before closing time. The event is free and open to the public; no reservations required. Please bring a pair of comfortable socks for your walk. For more information, call HAYC3 (518) 686-9050.

HAYC3 Cognitive Therapy Workshop

There will be no registred therapists in the class, just people like you who are determined to stop wasting time on “stinkin’ thinkin.’” This workshop will be on Wednesday, January 9 at 6:30 pm at the Armory. The workshop is $20 for HAYC3 members and $30 for non-members. Please call HAYC3 at 686-9050 to register.

Letter To The Editor – The Accomplishments Of The Hoosick Falls Student Body
To the Editor:
Words do little to express the significance of the accomplishments of the Hoosick Falls student body. Certainly, there are heroes, champions in abundance, individually and as teams, most notably the girls soccer and football teams. Their right to now proclaim themselves the best teams in their chosen sport throughout the ENTIRE State of New York cannot be denied.
