Schroon's Rosemarie Ritson

/

As many readers know, The Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce has a new executive director, Patrick Siler. In a letter published yesterday, Tony Kostecki, President of the Chamber, offers his heartfelt gratitude to Rosemarie Ritson, who has been the public face of the Chamber's Office on Main Street, for more than three decades. Schroon Laker wishes only the very best for Rosemarie, who has been an invaluable resource for our website, a fount on knowledge and wisdom, who offered us her support as we have grown over the last four years. Rosemarie, we look forward to seeing you around town.

From Tony Kostecki:

"After a year of thoughtful consideration the Schroon Lake Area Chamber of Commerce board concluded that a full time executive director was needed to address the challenges of our local businesses, residents and visitors.

As a result of this decision, the position of office secretary was eliminated. Mrs. Rosemarie Ritson filled that position for over 30 years and assisted countless visitors in maximizing their enjoyment of our town and the surrounding communities. Her vast knowledge of local history and her passion for Schroon Lake cannot go unacknowledged, so I wish to offer the board’s and the town’s heartfelt thanks for her service and her support.

The chamber board is working to find the best way to express our gratitude to Rosemarie in a meaningful and permanent way, but for now, please accept this letter of thanks on behalf of the chamber board and the Schroon Lake community. Thank you, Rosemarie!"

Tony Kostecki, President, Schroon Lake Area Chamber of Commerce

If you have missed Schroon Lake based ADK Shakes performances on Sundays in Lake Placid – you are in luck. This Sunday you can get to see the company perform selections from their upcoming He That Plays The King: Selections From The Kingship Cycle.

It’s the third installment of their Sunday Shakespeare Series. ADK Shakes teamed up with the Lake Placid Center for the Arts to bring their Shakespeare in the raw style performance to the North Country’s most famous hamlet.

From ADK Shakes:

This series will be presented in full this summer, but you can get a sneak peek at the highlights from Richard II, Henry IV - Parts 1 & 2, and Henry V. Featuring the company’s Artistic Director Tara Bradway, Executive Director Patrick Siler, and festival favorite Collin McConnell in the title roles of Richard II, Henry IV, and Henry V respectively.

“It’s exciting that these titles are enjoying a bit more attention lately with last year’s The Hollow Crown on PBS. Although they’re less familiar titles, they actually contain some of Shakespeare’s most beautiful language and compelling characters. Add in our signature Shakespeare IN THE RAW style, and you’ve got four plays that are absolutely not to be missed!” Tara said.

Where and When:  This Sunday, March 30 @ 7:30 p.m. Tickets - $5 (Call the Lake Placid Center for the Arts Box Office: 518-523-2512.
