            Craft Bits and Pieces
           helping seniors in Town
   When Sandra Agnew-Olin saw the chance
to manage Craft Bits and Pieces, she jumped
at it. Sandra had been working at Fairport
Baptist Homes for 9 years and loved the
idea of doing even more for the seniors in
Perinton and Fairport.
  “I have always leaned toward the elderly,”
she said. “They are just so wonderful and
such an asset to the community.”
   She started as manager of the Fairport
Village Landing shop on Sept. 7 and has
been working hard to get it into shape.
   During the pandemic, Craft Bits and
Pieces moved across the plaza to be next to
its donation center. Now next to Skip’s Meat
Market and just down from the Fairport
Public Library and the Tool Thrift Shop, Craft
Bits and Pieces is a busy place.
   Craft Bits and Pieces is similar to the Tool
Thrift Shop. Besides Sandra, all employees
are volunteers and the money raised goes
to helping seniors through SOFI and other
services.
   “We don’t dicker over prices,” Sandra
said. “Everything we make goes toward seniors. Keeps them in their homes                The shop is open Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9am to 4pm
longer. Helping with transportation. Anything they need.”                             Thursdays from 9am to 7pm and Saturdays from 9am to 3pm.

A Public
Servant Who
Made History
By Bill Poray, Perinton Town Historian
   Shortly after the conclusion of what was often referred to as the “Great War” in
November of 1918, the New York State Legislature adopted a law which required
municipalities to appoint a local historian. Legislators were motivated by the
importance of capturing the role of the state’s villages, towns, and cities in the war
effort. In Perinton, the first municipal historian was Charlotte Clapp (1884-1964).
She was appointed to the position in 1921, and immediately immersed herself in
the collection of information, documents and photos related to the community’s
involvement in the war. Perinton has had a municipal historian ever since, for a
total of 100 years.

                                                                                         community as she won her first election by more than a 3-1 margin. Charlotte
                                                                                         Clapp was the first woman to hold elected office in the Town of Perinton, an

                                                                                            During the next 32 years, Charlotte Clapp enjoyed wide support in her position
                                                                                         as town clerk, and was easily re-elected every two years. For more than 34 years,
                                                                                         she also functioned as town historian, while setting the bar high for those who
                                                                                         followed. During WWII and immediately after, Clapp amassed an amazing
                                                                                         collection of data, photos, and artifacts relating to the community and the soldiers
                                                                                         that served. The collection continues to be of immense importance.
                                                                                            Charlotte Clapp lived virtually her entire life in the family home at 15 Perrin

   Historian Clapp gathered documentation from all available sources, and by             as a teacher in Fairport schools, but soon found her calling as a public servant in
August of 1922, had submitted a comprehensive report to county and state                 town government. Upon her death in 1964, her hometown newspaper published
