Greetings,
Thank you for volunteering for music at the Feast this year. For those in the choir, we will perform three numbers, “God is Our Refuge”, “Love Never Fails”, and “On Eagles Wings”. This Friday, there will be an introductory rehearsal at 3:30PM at the Best Western in the main ballroom.
For those who signed up for special music, there will be a rehearsal at 4:30PM. I would like to hear at a complete run-through of your piece and, for vocalists, see a copy of your lyrics. Additional information is available at fotcobleskill.org.
If you cannot be at these meetings or have any other questions, please contact me as soon as possible.
Thank you again for your desire to serve.

The Landis Arboretum is a public garden overlooking historic Schoharie Valley near Esperance, New York. The Arboretum’s 548-acre site stretches easily into both Schoharie and Montgomery Counties. Forty acres are developed with plantings of trees, shrubs, and herbaceous perennials from around the world. The remainder of the property consists of natural areas, woodlands, wetlands, more than 8 miles of trails, and open fields reminiscent of the former Oak Nose Farm, homestead of founder Fred Lape.
Among the Arboretum’s horticultural features are its collections of notable trees, flowering ornamental trees and shrubs, tough trees for tough sites, conifers, and oaks. Two old growth forests and additional natural areas representing various stages of succession await visitors The Van Loveland Perennial Garden at the old farm house and the recently restored Quarry Garden are seasonal favorites.
Like the venerable 500-year-old Great Oak that captures the sight and imagination of every visitor to the Lape Estate, the Arboretum itself is a mighty oak evolved from an acorn of inspiration and nurtured by passionate people united in their love and respect for nature. Interpretive signage aids visitors in their enjoyment and understanding of the collections and ecosystems of the Arboretum – while they delight in the sweeping vistas of the countryside.
