I think Mother Nature is going through the changes. One day it 3 degrees and the next its 59. Well, I guess that is why they call it winter, it can snow all it wants, just not on the roads. I am the Cochecton Town Tax Collector and will be in the town hall collecting taxes. You can always pay on line with all credit cards except American Express; I do not take e-checks. There is a 3% fee to the credit card company for the use of credit cards. You can get all your tax information on www.taxlookup.net: go to Sullivan, and then to Cochecton.  You have to January 31 to pay with no fees. After that, there will be a 1% fee in February and a 2% fee in March, along with a $2 charge. You can always call me at 845/932-8360 X 17 leave a message and will get back to you.

Signups will be held on February 1, 2017 at the Town Hall from 6 to 7 p.m.—if you’d like to secure your seats ahead of time, call or text Sue. Cost for adults and out of town children is $183, and as always, the event free is to Cochecton Youth. If you have any questions, call Sue at 845/866 0853.

 

CYC is looking for a new board member, come to the next meeting on the first Tuesday of the month at Town Hall at 7 p.m. Lisa Bercze of Trip Guy has graciously offered a fundraiser to the Cochecton Youth Commission: she will donate $25 to the CYC when anyone booking their vacation through her mentions the Cochecton Youth Commission. Spread the word to mention the CYC for anyone booking through Lisa.
