EBWA's Current Upcoming Program

Thursday, June 26, 2008

Picnic and Tour of Paul Schaefer's house, Schenectady

Betty Dietz

Our meeting on June 26 will feature a tour of Paul Schaefer’s house, now the home of Center for the Association for the Protection of the Adirondacks and the Adirondack Research Library. Paul Schaefer was a self-made architect and builder with a passion for the Adirondacks. He worked tirelessly to protect the area and helped found the association to continue those efforts. The tour will be led by Betty Dietz, who has been involved with the association from its earliest stages and currently is chair of the Adirondack Research Library, an arm of the group. She will give a historical perspective of the AFPA, illustrated by anecdotes drawn from her membership and friendships, as well as talk about the current focus.

We will meet at the center at 897 St. David’s Lane, Niskayuna. Picnic fare will be served by Judy Clough, Nancy Tobiessen, Jean Aceto, Beth Ares and Barbara McLaughlin at the usual hour of 6:15. To make reservations for the supper, call Gabrielle Reals at 382-5685 by 8 p.m. Tuesday, June 24 or e-mail her at ellegr.1@juno.com  no later than Monday, June 23.

Gabrielle now acknowledges all e-mailed reservations. If you do not receive a response from her, call her at 382-5685 by the Tuesday deadline to be sure you are on the reservation list.

The charge for the meal is $10. If you miss the reservation deadline and bring your own supper, or come just for the program, the charge is $2.

Parking at the center is limited to approximately 12 cars, so car-pooling is encouraged. Additional parking is available on Vrooman Ave, not St. David’s Lane. The Reist Nature Preserve can be accessed from the site for those who would like to enjoy a pre-supper walk and look at wild flowers.

For more information about the association, see www.protectadks.org.
