Subject: Plant Sale Spring 2009 At the August meeting a plant sale was discussed and approved as a possible fund raiser for next spring. Since I had mentioned having the sale at a previous meeting they gave me the honor? I was thinking about May 16 or 23, 2009 as a possible date for the sale. Many people are interested in perennials as a good foundation in the garden. September is a great time to divide perennials. Anyone with a garden and the time can start now; spring is also a good time. The plants that are dug in the spring should be ready about two weeks before the sale to let the plants adjust to the container, and look "happy". It takes a lot of time and effort to get enough plants to realize a good profit. We will need volunteers. Perhaps the first Saturday in May (5/2/2009) any interested members could bring their plants to a designated garden, we'll set up an assembly line, and get things ready for the sale, bring your lunch and we'll have a garden party. If you're short on containers, the plants can be put in plastic bags, make sure you give them enough water, and bring them along. Ask your family and neighbors to save containers and share some plants for our sale. It could be both profitable and fun. Please save the date, more details will follow as we approach next spring. Further information can be found on the TIGS Home Page. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Jan

I went there a couple of years ago, but have not checked recently. Don't get to Troy very often. Carol, it might be worth a shot to check with the Rennselaer County Historical Society. I was surprised to find they had on record my Great Grandfather's last will and testament, and also a handwritten letter written by my Great Great Uncle Jas. P. Hooley to George Doring dated just before Christmas 1908, to inquire with Doring if there was any work coming up, I would assume for the holidays. My Uncle James was a drummer in the Doring's band. ----- Original Message ----- From: <CWald36709@aol.com> To: <ny-troy-irish-gensoc@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 07, 2008 4:55 PM Subject: Re: [NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC] Molder's Union > > Any chance there are records from the Molder's Union?

One of the reasons for the lack of published information on the numerous unions of Troy and Cohoes was the tragic destruction of so many local union records. Probably the most significant loss of records occurred in 1921 in Troy. The Central Federation of Labor had its headquarters in the Labor Temple on Congress Street since 1908, but on October 16, 1921 the building was consumed by fire. As the Troy Record stated the next day, "Though the records of several 'locals' were either destroyed or badly damaged, the papers of other locals remain intact." Unfortunately, the Record was too sanguine in its initial assessment of the fire, for it reported on October 20th that of forty union charters stored at the Labor Temple, only five were saved and the charters of the three oldest unions-the cigarmakers, typographers, and molders-were all lost. Other union records stored in the building were lost as well: minutes, contracts, letters, and more. Taken from this site. http://www.albany.edu/history/Troy-Cohoes/ ----- Original Message ----- From: <CWald36709@aol.com> To: <ny-troy-irish-gensoc@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 07, 2008 4:55 PM Subject: Re: [NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC] Molder's Union > > Any chance there are records from the Molder's Union?

And this building still standing, remarkable, and no historical marker of any kind. Druids Hall. Located at 197 River Street, in what is now part of the Quayside Apartment complex, is Druids Hall. This site is where the Iron Molders' International Union No. 2 met beginning in 1865. In 1910 the building was taken over and operated at Whitehurst Publishers. The building is in excellent condition, since it was rehabilitated as part of the Quayside complex. This Union was formed in 1857. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lizette Strait" <lstrait94@earthlink.net> To: <ny-troy-irish-gensoc@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, September 06, 2008 2:56 PM Subject: [NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC] TIGS Newsletter - Summer Issue > Lizette > I did not recieve a copy. > Larry Malone > ===NY-IRISH-GENSOC Mailing List=== > Did you pay your 2008 Dues? > Troy Irish Genealogy Society > http://www.rootsweb.com/~nytigs/ > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' > without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
