Weekend Update



It's 37 degrees and raining at 6:30

WKTV's Weather Forecast:
"Rain early Saturday as a storm system passes north and west of Central New York. Most of the wet weather ends by Saturday afternoon, with nothing more than a shower lingering around.

Easter Sunday looks generally quiet. A mix of sunshine and clouds with just a chance of a brief shower.

Warmer weather is likely by the middle of next week."

IN THE MAIL

A "thank you!" from Deb Conway, who wrote:

"The Rotary Clean-up last week was a huge success. We beat the rain and picked up 26 bags of trash, three tires, a trash can lid and a variety of other items too large to fit in a bag.
Sixteen people, some Rotarians and many community members, came out to help. The dumpster at the Village Hall was filled to the brim."
