Coburg Village is partnering with the American Red Cross to host a blood drive:

Friday, November 6
Noon – 4 pm
Coburg Village Auditorium

“Living at Coburg Village is like living on a cruise ship that doesn’t move,” says Coburg Residents’ Association President, Kirk Gleason. That’s because on top of the great food and service, there are a ton of activities always happening at the community. While many events are organized by the Coburg Village Activities Department — such as the multiple music performances and movies each week, visits to the theatre, group trips, etc.—many more activities are provided by a separate organization that works in conjunction with Coburg Village Administration called the Residents’ Association (RA).

The RA is run by Coburg Village residents and funded from events and the minimal resident dues (only $15 for the whole year!). It is made up of 17 committees and includes 9 special events held throughout the year. The RA meets on the first Thursday of every month, and everyone is invited.

September means back-to-school season, but boy, do those school days look different now! It wasn’t all that long ago that many areas only used one-room schoolhouses. Here in Clifton Park, each neighborhood had their own schoolhouse. By the mid 1800s, Clifton Park had 16 school “districts”.
