Immortalizing Your Historic Troy Home
Do you love your 19th century historic home? Would you love to own a painting of it? Kristine Domenichini, owner of Green Leaf Studio is currently accepting commissions
in watercolor of historic 19th century residences in the Washington Park, Osgood & Historic Sage neighbor-hoods. Specializing in "on site" painting, Kristine will visit
your home to determine the best view, confer with you about the selection of it and then depict your home in all its historic glory. Art "notecard" reproductions of your
painting will be available at an additional fee. Contact Kristine at 272-0410 or email her
for commission fees. Minimum100 card order; fees vary based on size/art medium chosen. If you are thinking 2007 holiday cards, plan ahead -- time and thought spent on each painting & notecard production makes it necessary to accept a limited number of commissions.

The Volunteer program serves seriously ill people and their families during the process of dying and grieving.
Volunteers are needed to provide socialization for homecare, nursing home and hospital patients and respite for family members. If you desire a meaningful

Many current volunteers say that Hospice work is the most rewarding experience of their lives. For info, call Historic Sage’s Deb Henderson at 274-5689. |
Have You Got Your Bag?
Market Block Books is trying to reduce their use of paper/plastic bags in order to be more environmentally friendly. When you make a large purchase,
MBB will ask you if you'd like a free canvas bag. MBB only asks that if you take one, you reuse it (for your Troy Farmers Market purchases, maybe?) or
return it to the store so that they can give it to someone else. If you have canvas bags that you don't use, please consider donating them to MBB so they
can circulate them throughout the community. Thanks for any help! If you have any questions. (Free canvas bags do not include the Book House/Market Block Books
bags that they sell--those are still $14.75, and very stylish!) |
