Judge Blauvelt's Friday Walking Club Goes Both Ways

We like to think that if Judge Cornelius Isaac Blauvelt were around today, he would enjoy a nice walk on the former bed of the Erie Railroad tracks that ran by his front door (the back of our building) in the 1850's. The walking club we founded in his name in 2022 shoves off every Friday at 11 am (weather permitting) and takes one hour to complete.

We leave from the Blauvelt Free Library and walk southeast to the crossing at Orangeburg Rd., but one can start from the other direction at the Orangeburg Library. This is an accommodation to those who might prefer to walk the "uphill" leg from Orangeburg first, and experience an easier "downhill" return on the way back from Blauvelt. Although the rise is very gradual, it is noticeable; every individual can make their own choice of starting point, though the friendly atmosphere created by the larger group is an considerable attraction.

The walk does not take place in inclement weather. Call us at 845 359-2811 if there is a question in your mind on any given Friday. Ask to be put on the event mailing list to be advised whenever a cancellation or starting time change is effected.

Quick Assist Remote Tech Support

If your computer runs Windows versions 7 through 11, we can offer you remote help for some technical issues via a program called Quick Assist that is already installed on your computer (it is part of Windows). Quick Assist allows a remote user to view or take control of your computer using a code that is emailed to you. If you are looking for help with technical matters related to your desktop computer or laptop, please email Emmanuel at epena@rcls.org to set up a time to connect remotely and troubleshoot your problems away!
