My memories of summers during my childhood in Gloversville in the 1960s and 70s are filled with riding my bicycle across town with friends to spend long days at Littauer Pool, exploring Melchoir and Myers parks, buying treats at Candy Kitchen with the change we found along the sidewalks and two-week stints at Camp Cramer-Burton, the day camp run jointly by the YMCA and YWCA where my big sister was an arts and crafts counselor. If it was a good year, the family would venture to Storytown in Lake George, now the much bigger Six Flags Great Escape park. If it was a really good year the family would make the further trek across the state border to Vermont.

Donations encouraged staff to take a little time for themselves.
Vermont Business Magazine The Southwestern Vermont Health Care (SVHC) Foundation recently approached several local businesses for help with an important project. Healthcare workers, working long hours caring for COVID-19 patients and others, needed a reminder to take a few moments to care for their own health and wellbeing. Businesses answered with donations of items that helped our staff remember to take care of themselves.
“Our staff is so dedicated and deeply compassionate, but we know they are not an inexhaustible resource,” said Paula Seaman, director of Quality, a department that also helps ensure that staff have the support they need to give high-quality care on a consistent basis. “These generous businesses helped us provide a gentle reminder that our staff need to take care of themselves, too.”
