FORT PLAIN – “Community” is important to business owners David and Christine Van Meter of Van Meter & Van Meter LLC in Little Falls, so when they decided to branch out to a new location in western Montgomery County – the Old Schoolhouse in Palatine Bridge – it was no surprise that the family would offer to help several local nonprofits: the Fort Plain Free Library, the Canajo- harie Youth Center and the Ayres Memorial Animal Shelter. On Sept. 25, the Van Meters presented a check for $250 to members of the Fort Plain Free Library Board of Directors and Library Director Whitney Hubbard. Expressing appreciation to all who helped spread the word about their open house, Christine said, “We do like to help the community and we wanted to give back.” In addition to the couple’s work coordinating the annual Christmas in Little Falls event and their involve- ment with Main Street First, Think Local Little Falls and other community-oriented events there, Christine is an active member of the local Rotary Club. She continued, “We love books, but you do more than books here. It’s amazing to see a thriving library.” Recognizing the library’s multi-year construction project to improve and update the 100-plus-year-old facility, David said, “It’s really important that you’re doing it Local business owners David and Christine Van Meter present a check for $250 to members of the Fort Plain Free Library [the renovations] right.” In addition to the books, pro- Board of Trustees and Director Whitney Hubbard.
