Featured Millennial: Leia D'Amboise Demonstrates Meaning of Thanksgiving

Featured Millennial Leia D'Amboise of Clifton Park

Saratoga Millennials have a lot to be grateful for this Thanksgiving.

Saratoga County enjoys low crime rates, there is plenty of access to clean water and food, and issues like disease and poverty just aren't as prevalent as they are in three-quarters of the rest of the world.

So when it comes to Thanksgiving, the holiday can take on more of a habitual spin than a day where people really do stop and give thanks for what they have, while reflecting on how devastating life is for many others.

This is not the case for Clifton Park native and Shenendehowa graduate Leia D'Amboise.

While many area residents will be gathered with their families this Thursday around the table and turkey, D'Amboise will be continuing her work with the United State Peace Corps in Botswana.

A Message From The Editor: Saratoga Millennials...VOTE!!!

The Millennial Vote impacts local and national elections

It's Election Day across the United States and since it is the Millennial Generation who defines our country's future, MAKE SURE YOU GET OUT AND VOTE!!!

As someone who has worked closely within political campaigns, it is extremely disheartening to hear when someone refuses to vote because of apathy, especially when it comes from one of my peers. 

At a time where information and history can be found within three seconds or less, just with the touch of a finger, the true and earnest value of voting and the influence that the individual does have on a greater cause, sometimes gets lost in the noise and chatter.

Your vote does matter and it has a significant presence in both local and national elections.
