The Harlem Ambassadors shared their positivity with our community today.They provided an assemble with the children of Schroon Lake Central School taking the time to teach the children how important it is to be positive, to be kind, to have goals, to never give in to life's challenges, to learn from those challenges, to show appreciation for the their fellow students.

They gave great testimonies about their own lives, struggles and accomplishments. After they had some fun with the children. The Schroon Lake Chamber and the HA team are looking forward to having everyone at the game Friday night! You can pick up tickets at the school or at the Chamber up till 3 pm tomorrow! Make sure to come out and have some fun!

After a brief respite – giving Patty and Bill Christian a small break -- Mark Piper is back as Master of Ceremonies tonight  at Witherbee’s Open Mic Night.

And a lot of their regular performers will be featured in this Saturday’s recording party in the upstairs Loft, at 6 pm for Witherbee’s Special Wounded Warriors Fund raiser. The live show will be taped for later mastering on  DVD. All proceeds will benefit the Wounded Warriors project.

Mark, Super Dave, Vinnie Leddick, Bill Campbell, Tom Brady, Linda Fayte, George and Tony, Lanny, George Parrott and Eric Bright will be the featured performers Saturday.

“The taping starts at 6pm till it's wrapped up,  then  it’s a regular OPEN MIC,” Mark told Schroon Laker today.

“All are invited, in fact the more the better. We have a soundman, lights and film crew on hand. We have lots of swag and lots of fun...it is the real deal and everyone is welcome. If you need a table for dinner you should make a reservation”

So there you have it folks. Make a night of it and support a wonderful cause.

RIP: Patrick Hogan
