Carolyn (Carrie) Foland
As a lifelong resident of Middleburgh and for the 50+ years residing under Vroman's Nose, I an once again asking for your vote for a seat on the Middleburgh Library Board of Trustees. I have served the board for over a decade and enjoy serving the community. After retiring from the Schoharie County Clerk's Office, volunteering became my "job." my husband, Dennis and I are coordinators of the Joshua Project Summer Backpack Program, where our delivery drivers furnish food to kids all of the county. We also help with Coats for Kids and Adults, Christmas for Kids, Thanksgiving Baskets and other worthwhile endeavors with the Joshua Project. Tax season just ended and for the past 9 years I have prepared free taxes for seniors through the United Way at the Office of the Aging. Dennis and I are active members of St. Mark's Lutheran Church across from the library.
Sarah Hunt
I am proud to be a member of the Middleburgh community and excited for the opportunity to continue to serve on the Middleburgh Library Board. As both a resident and a professional dedicated to public service, I understand the importance of accessible resources, lifelong learning, and strong community connections. The library is a vital part of our community - offering not only educational opportunities, but also a welcoming space for people of all ages. I bring experience in leadership, organization, and collaboration, and I am committed to supporting the library’s mission while helping it continue to grow and adapt to the needs of our community. I would be honored to have your support.
Angelique (Angie) Piwinski
I am a senior citizen associated with our beautiful area since 1967, since I was 12 as a seasonal resident and now permanent resident since 2019. I have two adult children and one beautiful three-year-old grandson. I retired in 2018 having had an awarded 40+ year career in the advertising industry with 20 of those years as an Executive Vice President of an advertising agency in Manhattan within the former IPG network.
I am currently a member of the Board of Trustees of the Westchester County based Hudson River Museum for the past five years. I was a past three-time President of the Board of Directors of the Friends of Phillipse Manor Hall, New York State historic site and previously a member of the Board of Trustees of the Schoharie County Historical Society for one year, only leaving to assist my daughter during a difficult pregnancy.
I was a mayoral appointed member of the Yonkers Landmarks Preservation Board for 10 years (2009-2019), only leaving because I moved permanently from Yonkers to the Middleburgh Central School District. I was also twice elected to the Vestry, the secular governing body, of historic St. John's Episcopal Church, Getty Square in Yonkers, NY, chartered in 1693 during the reign of King William and Queen Mary, joint monarchs of England, Scotland and Ireland.
In 2014 I received a US Congressional Recognition for my work in history and received the coveted "Key to History" from the Yonkers Historical Society, a recognition that's only been given about 50 times in the past 60 years.
I also taught local history as an adjunct at Westchester Community College, SUNY and continue to be an invited guest lecturer for other colleges and universities.
In 2024, five years after I moved from Yonkers, I received a Legacy Award from the City of Yonkers in recognition of the many volunteer positions I held in the city and accomplishments. The legacy award, given to me by Mayor Spano, proclaimed June 7, 2024 as "Angelique Piwinski Day" throughout Yonkers, the third largest city in New York State.
James Schilling
At a pot-luck dinner last fall, James Schilling, who is dedicated to helping our Public Library here in Middleburgh NY, was asked if he would consider joining its Board of Trustees. After a few minutes of careful thought, he told Kelly (the Board co-President) that he would be more than happy to serve his community in that way ...
James is a retired Project Manager with over 30 years experience. He served in the USAF as a Meteorological Systems Analyst. Currently, he manages several Facebook group pages, occasionally writes for the local newspaper and devotes a vast amount of his time working for the P. Keith Nelson "Breakabeen" Food Pantry.
