For many on this gloomy day,
the community lunch at TSL Warehouse was just what was needed.
"Keep Hope Alive" was a chili and cornbread feast with discussion on our times at TSL Warehouse,  434 Columbia Street Hudson today with speakers  including Cheryl Roberts, filmed by Dan Udell. Roberts referenced a favorite poem, "When I Am Old"/Jenny Joseph, explaining her purple scarf encouraging all present to "Dig Deep. Find Hope."

TSL Warehouse was founded in 1973 and in its current location, continues to offer documentaries and independent films in its cinema. One of the most recent youth programs was the bench project where students learned to build benches; designing, measuring, and visiting Lowes for materials. A few examples currently reside there and also at the train station. You can pick up a red piggy bank at TSL and donate spare change to help keep programs alive.
Over this weekend, there will be many opportunities to get involved in community encouraging hope. 
All are welcome; all are valued.

The Legend of St. Winifred

copyright 2017

The St. Winifred statue resides on Promenade Hill overlooking the Hudson River. Folklore has it that she was a noble British maiden in Flintshire Wales beheaded by Prince Caradoc, known as Caractacus by the Romans, when his advances toward her were dismissed. After her head rolled down a hill, a spring flushed forth where it stopped. The statue was presented to Hudson in 1896. She wears the martyr’s crown and holds the sword that beheaded her. In this image, she looks more victorious than victim.
