Wellsville Area Chamber of Commerce News

With Thanksgiving being the last Thursday of the month there will not be a monthly luncheon held in November.

The annual Christmas Holiday dinner and installation of officers is set for Thursday, December 9 at 6 P.M. This year's theme is "Rising Star Award". The dinner will be held at Wellsville's Riverside Roadhouse. As announced at the October luncheon there will be no fee for this year's dinner. Those attending can select any item on the menu for their dinner. Reservations can be made by calling Chamber President Randy Allmon at 330-843-3475.

The Chamber is selling memorial Christmas tree bulbs for the village's community tree. The bulbs will be have the names of the ones being remembered attached - only one name per bulb will be permitted. Cost is $5 each. Orders can be placed by calling Dolly Brophey at 330-532-1807 or mailing them to the Wellsville Area Chamber of Commerce, 1514 Lincoln Ave., Wellsville, OH 43968.

Seen in this morning's newspapers was an article with Allmon saying the Chamber is now in desperate need for a tree to be placed in the 4th St. Square. Allmon was quoted as saying they had one donated but it was decided it was too big. Now they have new decorations with nothing to put them on. A plea was issued for anyone wishing to donate a 20 foot live evergreen. All the donor has to do is point it out. Chamber members will handle the cutting and transportation of the tree. Donors are asked to call Allmon at 330-843-3475.

In that same article it said the Chamber is planning a light up night and other Christmas activities to be announced at a later date. Vickie McCombs announced at the last luncheon that the annual Christmas parade will be held on Saturday, December 11. The parade is set to begin at 6 P.M. Anyone wanting more information can contact McCombs at 330-532-4149.

New members welcomed since the last luncheon are McDonalds, George Crews and William Reiner.
