PPL's Meet the Author Series w/ Sam Miller

2 Park St,Potsdam,13676,US Map

PPL welcomes local author Sam Miller, as he talks about his memoir: Reasons Why I Left the Amish Community

It's been almost a year since Sam Miller told all about his life with the Amish and, as the title of his book reveals, the "Reasons Why I Left the Amish Community."
Sam did so in the dark of the night, with nothing but the clothes on his back, while his family slept.
Now Sam's book is a part of Potsdam Public Library's North Country Collection and, on Sunday, Oct. 2, at 2 PM, Sam will also be in the North Country Section of PPL to talk about the book and answer any questions about his time there, his reasons for leaving, and how life has changed for him, now that he lives an "English" lifestyle.
Come listen, ask questions, and learn about our Amish neighbors and the man who has lived among them, left them, and wrote a book about it.
Coffee and light snacks will be provided.... See MoreSee Less

Key Bank Personal Banker Alene Dishman continues her Key Bank at Work Presentation with a discussion on security through savings.

Holidays are a great time to make your finances a priority. With so many responsibilities and obligations this time of year, it is easy to overextend ourselves and spend the rest of the year recouping just to put ourselves through it all again next holiday season. This discussion will help us prepare for the impending holiday season this year while simultaneously managing finances at your own pace to avoid starting the new year with any regrets or new debts!...
