Reward RMC Points

By order of the PRESIDENT

Susan Haag, RMC MMC NYSTCA President

Dear Fellow Town Clerks:

It is with pleasure that I extend a personal invitation to the 38th Annual New York State Town Clerks Association Conference being held in the newly renovated Desmond Resort and Conference Center, in Albany, New York, on April 26‐29, 2020. There are so many exciting events planned I hope you will be there.

Get out your cowboy boots and saddle up for our Sunday Night Mixer. You’ll be entering the Wild Wild West! Make sure not to dilly dally on your way into Town. We’ve had some reports of bandits robbing the stagecoaches. Dress in your finest and meet us at the local watering hole for dinner, dancing and more!

This is the only conference designed exclusively for the education and professional growth of Town Clerks and their Deputies. Between State agencies being available to share the latest, up‐to‐date information, topical speak‐ ers during breakout sessions, vendor specialty classes, and one of a kind offerings, the education line‐up is ex‐ ceptional. There will be something for both brand‐new and seasoned clerks.

New this year is our dedication to think of others who struggle in different ways. Help us to show love to chil‐ dren around the State with our Build‐A‐Bear partnership, decorating bears to give to children’s hospitals to put a smile on suffering children’s faces. You can also participate in creating an individual quilt square that will even‐ tually be put with other squares to make beautiful baby quilts donated to Alpha Pregnancy Care Center in Albany New York. Alpha Pregnancy Care Center is a welcoming refuge where those dealing with pregnancy issues can find unconditional love, acceptance, and truthful counsel. Booths will be set up Sunday afternoon by registration for those wishing to help.

I’m sure the Monday Night Excursion will be a sold‐out event! Tours of the NYS Capitol Building have been set up, with a time to actually be “on the floor” where it all takes place! Afterwards, enjoy dinner at the Corning Tower, the tallest building in New York State outside of Manhattan. The views will be spectacular from our ob‐ servation deck vantage point! Submit your conference registration early as this event is limited to the first 120 people.

As you review your booklet, you will find complete descriptions of the many conference events. Included will be your NYSTCA registration form and your hotel registration form for The Desmond. For those wishing to try our new online registration, see the conference link on the home page of our NYSTCA website at www.nystca.com.

Conference is a wonderful time for all clerks to network and recharge our batteries with old and new friends alike. As always, please feel free to give me a call if you have any questions. I look forward to seeing you at the 38th Annual NYSTCA Conference in Albany!

Best,

Susan A. Haag, RMC MMC NYSTCA President

Our Conference Athenian will feature: Journey of Crazy Horse: A Lakota History by Joseph M. Marshall III. Most of the world remembers Crazy Horse as a peerless warrior who brought the U.S. Army to its knees at the Battle of Little Bighorn. But to his fellow Lakota Indians, he was a dutiful son and humble fighting man who—with valor, spirit, respect, and unparal‐ leled leadership—fought for his people’s land, livelihood, and honor.

In this fascinating biography, Joseph M. Marshall, himself a Lakota Indian, creates a vibrant portrait of the man, his times, and his legacy. Thanks to firsthand re‐ search and his culture’s rich oral tradition (rarely shared outside the Native American community), Marshall reveals many aspects of Crazy Horse’s life, includ‐ ing details of the powerful vision that convinced him of his duty to help preserve the Lakota homeland—a vision that changed the course of Crazy Horse’s life and spurred him confidently into battle time and time again.

The Journey of Crazy Horse is the true story of how one man’s fight for his people’s survival roused his true genius as a strategist, commander, and trusted leader.

Do not settle for the same ole thing...try something new!
