Pickle Ball Court now Open!

We are thrilled to announce that the new pickle ball court is open for use!

We are asking that it only be used for pickle ball, and that skate boarders use the lower

court, adjacent to the Highway Garage, instead of our new court.  Thank you!

 

LOOKING FOR A VOLUNTEER TO RUN OUR SOCCER PROGRAM !

The Stanford Recreation Commission is searching for someone who would be willing to head our soccer program.

After years of dedicated service to the program, John Blackburn has made the decision to step down. We applaud and appreciate his hard work and dedication to the program. And we know all of the families who have participated in the soccer program over the years feel the same! Thank you John!

As the head of the program, you would work alongside the Recreation Director in fielding registrants for the program as well as volunteers for coaching positions, setting up teams and games and general oversight of the program. Knowledge of soccer and the game would be helpful. If you or someone you know would be interested in running the program, or if you have questions, please contact us at recreation@townofstanford.org.

A New Kind of Community Day for 2020 – September 19th, 2020

The 62nd Annual Stanford Community Day will be like no other.  The chosen theme is perfect :  We’re All in This Together!”  

The COVID-19 pandemic changed our world and our daily lives: all in the light of hoping to keep everyone safe from this new worldwide health crisis.

However, in the midst of this pandemic, people came together to help those in need: The Grange’s new Little Food Pantry which so many people have generously contributed to, the sewing of masks, the Town’s Community Hotline are just a few examples.  People checked on family and neighbors, delivered food, and offered other assistance either personally or through an organization of their choice. 

While Community Day this year looks very different from what we’re used to, we still wanted to plan something to celebrate our Town and bring us together safely as a community.  A lot of heartfelt discussion went into the planning of this year’s Community Day for the last 4 months.  With proper precautions, guidance and being “New York Smart”, we hope this year’s Community Day will be remembered in a positive way.

We will emerge from this pandemic stronger and more resilient. We will get through this together?
