----------------------------------
In other news, Eric and I went to the CoC meeting last night. There was an excellent response to the request for paint donations and volunteers to paint the Chinese Restaurant wall. All the paint and the filler have been covered through donations, even though Mike Orr was willing to dip into BID money in case it wasnt' covered. The CoC simply needs to get the top part filled in and painted and then will let the volunteers know when they are needed for painting. I will keep you posted.
Secondly, from Lorraine
"in exciting news, the Chamber received permission from Mr. & Mrs. DiGiulio, the owners of the cobblestone garage on Main Street to do a clean-up on the property! We are very pleased that this could be worked out to benefit them and our community!!
We are asking any adult that would volunteer one hour of their time to help pull/cut weeds to please contact Lorraine Mason or the Chamber or Mike Orr of the BID. We are only asking for an hour...whatever you achieve in that hour is your donation to the community project.
We also approached the DiGiulio's about the Chamber and the BID freshening the paint on the building. We are waiting to see if this is a possibility.
PLEASE...consider helping...these types of projects show community spirit, pride and our willingness to help others!
Thanks for the consideration!!!"
If you are interested, the Chamber of Commerce email is WilliamsonCofC@aol.com.
Happy Gardening!

Williamson Chamber of Commerce Information
Hello Fellow Gardeners!
I don't know about you but my garden has just BURST into color. Every day I go out and it looks like yet another flower has burst into bloom. It's completely chaotic as I have not gotten to weeding yet (as those who are coming over on Wednesday will see) but I'm really enjoying the color and fragrances. I forget how wonderful the roses smell when they start blooming.
I've been receiving updates from the CoC as we are now members. I'm going to post them on our website but there were a few that I thought might be interesting. I'm going to combine them into one email for your convenience.
1. SUPPORT OF COMMUNITY PROJECT
The BID and CofC have received the go ahead to have the east side of the old Chinese restaurant painted. We feel that this project will benefit the overall look of the downtown area.
The project relies on support and donations from businesses, Churches, community members and organizations. The donation requested would be to submit to the BID (Mike Orr) the cost of one (1) gallon of paint. The support would be to help prep and paint.
This is a simple project if we get enough involvement. It will not fall on the shoulders of a few if everyone can offer something. One hour of your time during the day or at night after work to scrap or paint is all we are asking from each person. Don't have time for that then donate a gallon of paint.
This project will happen over a period of time. Please contact Mike Orr of the BID or Lorraine Mason of the CofC with questions, offers of help, etc.
SUBRATA: I would like us to, at minimum, donate paint for the project. If anyone sees a problem with that, let me know. We currently have over $1,000 in our bank account. If there is interest, we could set up a "Garden Club" night where members get together to help with painting.
2. The Chamber would like to communicate with as many of members as possible. If you are interested in community happenings, business news, etc. please send your name and associated email address to WilliamsonCofC [at] aol.com with the above requested information.
3. Governor Paterson's Economic Security Cabinet is pleased to announce Regional Town Hall Meetings to receive comments on New York State's efforts to protect and enhance the economic security of low-income families. In this national economic downturn, Governor Paterson has charged his Economic Security Cabinet with exploring opportunities to support struggling low-income families. These Town Hall meetings will provide an opportunity to hear about the State's commitment to protecting and enhancing economic security. Suggestions from employers, labor representatives, researchers, advocates, and the general public are a vital part of this effort, and interested individuals are invited to provide written submissions and/or 3 minutes of in-person testimony.
Further information about the Economic Security Cabinet and the regional Town Hall meetings – and registration information for the meetings - can be obtained at the Economic Security Cabinet website – http://economicsecurity.us. All meetings will begin promptly at 4:00 PM and end at 7:00 PM. June 25 Finger Lakes Region – Rochester City Hall.
