A heartfelt thank you to Dutchess Tri-Valley Girl Scout Troop #10182 for their outstanding contribution to the exhibit Assembled Identities: Interchanging Roles Within Community. Their creative work brought to life a vibrant cast of characters inspired by the Hudson Valley’s three pillars—The Riverkeeper, The Rock Guardian, and The Orchard Dreamer.
Through their imagination and collaboration, the Scouts, along with visitors to the Pleasant Valley Library today, transformed these figures into something truly meaningful. I’m deeply grateful to the library staff and to Linda Hanlon for her own style of magic and championing this project every step of the way.
If you haven’t yet, please stop by the Pleasant Valley Library to experience the exhibit and contribute your own words. This is a living project—one that grows richer with each voice from the community added, including yours!
