The meetings will be held at 7 pm at the Saratoga County Office Building at 50 West High Street in Ballston Spa.
The committee will review the diversity of household composition, income, education, ethnicity and lifestyle, as well as examine the role of social organizations in and about the village.

FREE Summer Lunch program for Kids
Many children who receive free lunch at school do not have this option over the Summer. Sometimes they go hungry. The members of The First Baptist Church of Ballston Spa are once again offering a Summer Lunch Program. This program provides free lunches to children over the Summer. Approximately 200 nutritious bag lunches are served Monday thru Friday during the months of July and August.
A permission form needs to be filled out and signed by a parent or guardian before a student can receive lunches. They are available on the church website or can be picked up from participating churches, and should be turned in to the First Baptist Church office by July 1.
Volunteers are needed on weekdays, 9 am – 12:15 pm to help make, pack, and distribute lunches. It’s only a few hours a day, but it makes a huge difference in these children’s lives.
