Henry L, Dittmar, Publisher Phone: Rosendale 7 Melvin Fein, Sports''Editor AS IT WAS TOLD TO US cv- ROSENDALE TOWNSHIP ASSOCIATION When all the cement mines within the Township of Rosendale were in full operation.our town enjoyed a pros perity known to few other towns within the boundaries of Ulster County. -With the passing of most of them our people were financially hurt, for there were practically no other thriving industries here for them to turn to. Many of them moved to distant parts and sought new means of securing a livelihood. For those| who stayed it meant seeking oat new .ways of'being.self sustaining. And so-it is that the Town of Rosendale became a vacation center. Those who remained, or many of them, turned their homes into “ boarding houses ” and welcomed back their old neighbors as “ paying guests ” during their vacations. Soon these boarding house proprietors realized that this might be developed into a very prosperous business. They began to enlarge their houses and to advertise individual ly throughout the Metropolitan Area. So it was that for many years they enjoyed a prosperous Summer resort business. Year after year the competition among resort areas became more keen, and even during the “ peak ” years of 1927 and 1928, because of the lack of a co-operative ef fort upon the part of our own business people, to sell the beauties of Rosendale to vacationists, our business began to wane and moved slowly down hill for several years. In the early days of 1934 it became the “ brain-child ” of Mr. Henry Mollenhauer that the people of our Town- ship should band together in an effort to help our resort keepers, our merchants and farmers. A general mass meeting was called February 19, 1934 and after much dis cussion, Mr. Mollenhauer, the presiding officer, named a committee, representing each section of the Township to draft a constitution and by-laws for a co-operative town organization. This committee was instructed to meet at the Scharmer House, Rosendale, on the evening of Febru ary 23. It did. And so was horn The Rosendale Township Association, with this creed — “ There is always hope for any Town to improve its business conditions provided the people of the community have the will to succeed. Once they make this decision, once they give their ambition a definite objective, they are on their way to success. ” With this in mind the first general meeting was call ed on March 2nd, and the following officers elected: President, Wm. Weisler; Vice-president, Leon Hill; Secretary, E. M. Huben; Treasurer, Dr. E. F. Galvin; to gether with a director from each hamlet for our Township. Under the leadership of sueh competent men it was CHURCH NOTES Mass will be held every day at 9 A. M. during the week In St. Peter ’ s Church during Lent.

Since February 23, 1934, many objectives have been gained by this Association of which we will list a few. The co-operative booklet “ Vacationists Rendezvous ” has been published and distributed annually. “ Clean Up ” week was inaugurated as an annual event (public officials and private citizens cooperating to make our Town cleaner.) Two “ Old Home ” week-ends; Better entertainment within our Town; Two kiddies Christmas Parties; School dramatic contests; Winter sports folders; Winter sports; Eastern ski meets; Erection of educational markers; Bet ter co-operation and understanding between merchants and consumers. Together with these many definite accomplishments this Association has been instrumental in publicizing our Town throughout Ulster County and n several Metropoli tan New York Newspapers. Last, but not least, it has been acclaimed by our business people for having greatly stimulated business throughout our Township on an all year basis. It is the hope of this organization to further these accomplishments by the following program as set down by the last director ’ s meeting for the immediate future. 1. Sponsorship of a local baseball club; 2. Sponsorship of local moving pictures; 3. To bring about supervised entertainment for our vacationists; 4. Publish at every meeting through the coming year.
