“Beyond Jazz”, a flexible member musical improv group will give a concert on Sunday Dec 17 at The Buckbe Center, 2 Colonial Ave in Warwick at 4 PM.

A candlelight peace vigil will be held on Thursday, December 21, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Railroad Green, Railroad Avenue in Warwick, NY (rain date: Friday, December 22).
According to the organizers, the date was chosen to coincide with the winter solstice, an event that has been celebrated by various cultures throughout human history as a time of returning light and hope.
“It is our wish to provide an opportunity to bring our neighbors together during this period of dwindling light and concern for human suffering around the world and to rekindle the holidays’ messages of light and hope, not just for ourselves, but for all humankind. We believe this will be a beautiful community experience where we can witness our collective longing for a more peaceful world,” shared Beverly Braxton, founder and director of We the People Warwick who are organizing the event.
All are invited to this community experience to, as the organizers say, “witness our collective longing for a more peaceful world.”
Participants are asked to bring a white candle, if possible. A limited number of candles will be provided onsite by the Warwick Ecumenical Council.

There will be a public hearing on the 16th day of January 2024 at 7:30 p.m., at Village Hall, 77 Main Street, Warwick, New York 10990 to introduce Community Choice Aggregation (aka “CCA”). I hope you will plan to attend this meeting and become informed about CCA, especially if you are a Village resident.
At its heart, CCA is very simple —
-
The Village will join with other municipalities to negotiate with electricity suppliers.
-
If the negotiations lead to an agreement at a good price, the residents of the Village will potentially gain access to a lower cost for electricity than they would find individually.
-
O&R will continue to be the only electricity delivery company for Warwick, but O&R will no longer be the default supplier of electricity.
-
CCAs sometimes can provide renewably generated electricity and/or give participating customers community solar credits — which is what makes this such a big (and good) deal.
-
Everyone has the choice to opt out of the new default supplier, and could go back to O&R or select another ESCO.
While CCA is essentially simple, understanding it can quickly get complex.
How many of us understand the difference between our electricity delivery company and our electricity supply company? I mean, who reads and understands their electricity bill???
How many of us understand what an ESCO is or know how to get information on which ESCO might best suit our interests?
How do wholesale electricity markets work and how could participating in Community Choice Aggregation save money for everyone in our community?
