Special thanks to those Terrace residents who contributed to the Southern Rensselaer County Rotary Club's drive to collect books for Unity House, the Troy non-profit that deals with individuals and families in crisis.
Terrace resident April Dowd is the current president of that Rotary Club (husband Bill is president-elect, part of their dynasty building effort).
April reports that more than 500 new and like-new books for children and adults were contributed by Rotarians as well as non-Rotarians from Lansingburgh, Troy, Spiegeltown, Watervliet, Latham, Albany and East Greenbush.
Since 1971, Unity House has provided a wide range of services to meet the needs of people in our community who are living in poverty, adults living with mental illness or HIV/AIDS, victims of domestic violence, and children with developmental delays.
Unity House will be moving from its current cramped quarters on Eighth Street to a new, large facility on Second Street adjacent to the Collar City Bridge in mid-October.
