Are you up to the task?
Volunteers are the people that make things happen within our Society. We couldn’t function without our volunteers. We currently have a need for people to do grant research, help with museum setup, archiving items and materials, and helping with publicity and signage. If you are interested in learning more, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator Connie Mondel. She can be reached at 392-5874 or by email to jcmond@fairpoint.net.
Administrative Support Person search underway........

NY State Great Appliance Swapout
This federally funded program can save consumers hundreds of dollars a year by replacing an old appliance with high-efficiency models. The program will not only help consumers save money and reduce the environmental impact of older appliances, but will help NY State Governor David Patterson’s ambitious goals of improving our environment and decreasing our energy usage in the future.
The Austerlitz Historical Society is in need of another freezer for our basement. This freezer will help us store more of our delicious blueberry pies for our July Blueberry Festival as well as other products we use throughout the year.
If you are considering upgrading your freezer through the above program, and would like to donate your used, but working freezer, the Society would be most grateful for your donation. Please contact Carl Quinn at 392-6890 or by email to treasurer@oldausterlitz.org if you have an appliance you’d like us to consider for a donation. Your donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
