Team Knolls: Nick's Run To Be Healed 5K Race/Walk

We were asked by one of our Neighbors if we could help get out the word about and upcoming charity fundraiser:

Please join Team Knolls in running or walking in the NICK'S RUN TO BE HEALED 5K on Sunday, September 25th at Clifton Commons. NICK'S RUN TO BE HEALED 5K is a charity run and walk to support the Nick's Fight to be Healed Foundation. The mission of Nick’s Fight to be Healed Foundation is to support pediatric blood cancer patients as well as serve the young adult blood cancer community. The Foundation was set up by very good friend's on ours in memory of their son Nick, who passed away on October 26, 2008 at the age of 13. Nick had been diagnosed with Leukemia on July 4th of 2008. You can read more about the Foundation and Nick at http://www.fighttobehealed.org/ Nick's parents, Janine and Lucas, are amazing people who are strong beyond belief. They've transformed the loss of their son into powerful and positive energy to keep the fun and good-natured spirit of Nick alive. Their other son, Stephen, is one of Nathan's best friends. The race this year is being dedicated to Lucas Romano, another local teen who just recently passed away after fighting leukemia for 7 years. Luke would have been a senior at Shen High School this year and he is well known throughout the Shen community. He was an amazing kid. His parents, Annette and John, are also amazing people. Their son Marcus is a good friend of Nathan's and they have a daughter Jacquelyn who is in 10th grade at Shen. You can read more about Luke at http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/lukeromano I am very, very proud to know both of these families and know I will be proud of my Knolls neighbors for joining Team Knolls and showing support for both Nick and Luke and their families. Thanks in advance for participating. Call (348-2154) or email me if you have any questions or need help registering. This is a great neighborhood and community to live in.

CLIFTON PARK BULK CLEAN UP

The Town of Clifton Park has again partnered with County Waste to conduct a curbside bulk waste collection starting Sunday, Sept. 11 and continuing for the following three weeks. The town has been divided into thirds, one for each week of collection. Residents will receive a notice in the mail several days prior to their collection week indicating their pickup date and describing the items acceptable as bulk waste.

Collection in Clifton Knolls and Mill Creek begins Sunday, September 18th!

Residents are asked to place bulk items on the curb by 7:00 p.m. on the Sunday evening of their week. It will take up to seven days to pick up all items. There is no daily schedule by street, so residents are asked to be patient if all or any items are not collected early in the week.

No household trash or Hazardous materials will be collected. (e.g.: fuels, paints, chemicals, tires, computer monitors or TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners). No lawn debris, household garbage or brush will be collected.
