Dr. Rob would like to extend a warm invitation to join him at the Skaneateles Creekside Books & Coffee House upstairs in the Mezzanine on December 4th, 6pm-8pm for a thought provoking discussion on life and how to live each and every day in a positive way. Creekside Books & Coffee House is located at 11 Fennell Street, Skaneateles, NY.
Over the last few years Dr. Rob has experienced and learned from many apparent ups and downs. One of the most important concepts he has found valuable is that by merely changing one’s thoughts, you can change your understanding and relationship with others. Creating a positive outlook and seeing the gifts in every encounter can help you live a more fruitful and enjoyable life.
We can learn to let go of the drama and depression that is so prevalent in most of our lives. We will be chatting together in a discussion on life and sharing ways to live positively each and every day. We will discuss practicing a daily positive intention, and other useful tools to help us all in “Living a Positive Life”.
This meeting is free and all are welcome to share in this positive and thought provoking discussion.
**Space is limited so please register by emailing Chris Briel at events@robertkiltz.com or calling 315.378.7317.
It’s so rewarding when the work you do has the “hoped-for” outcome, especially when it’s for a worthy effort. I recently sent out a press release for Claire Affleck Training regarding her fall session of Freedom Riders at Skaneateles Equestrian Center. The Syracuse Post Standard picked it up and one of their staff writers, Scott Rapp, did a lovely article. They also captured some great pictures.
In an effort to help feed many hungry families this holiday season Folls Flower Farm will be selling holiday greens centerpieces and donating 100% of the profits to The Food Bank of Central New York and to Oxfam International. We are calling our project Flowers for Food. I expect that the cost for supplies to make each centerpiece will be about 33% of the total cost. The amount going to the Food Bank or to Oxfam would be the remainder. In order to minimize taxes that need to be paid I will ask for two checks, one payable to Folls Flowers and one to the Food Bank or Oxfam. This will also give you a tax deduction. I will collect payment when the centerpieces are picked up or delivered. We hope to be able to conduct flower sales throughout the year in a continuing effort to help feed the world’s hungry. All centerpieces will be made with mixed evergreens, berries, pine cones and German statice. Candles will be smokeless and dripless. Our offerings this holiday season will include:
Single candle centerpiece with red or white taper - $25.00
Double candle centerpiece with red or white tapers - $35.00
Triple candle centerpiece with red or white tapers - $45.00
Pillar candle centerpiece with red or white 6″ candle - $45.00(more…)

It began as a simple thank-you from village merchants to the Skaneateles community. Now, 15 years later, Dickens Christmas provides cherished holiday memories for thousands of families regionally and nationally.
Dickens Christmas—which opens the Friday after Thanksgiving and runs noon to 4 p.m. every weekend until Christmas—is improvisational street theater. Costumed Victorian characters wander the village streets, interacting with each other and with the public.
Horse-drawn carriage rides, carolers, concerts, chestnuts roasting on an open fire, refreshments, children’s activities, free costume rentals, locals night—all were there from the start and continue, in expanded form, as attractions today.
Dickens Christmas was the brainchild of Karen Foltz, owner of Pomodoro and Pomodoro Too, who had seen a similar production in Minnesota and—as a board member of the Skaneateles Area Chamber of Commerce—was looking for ways to boost business. “A lot of people now bring their family and friends—it’s (more…)
