The monthly Chamber luncheon was held at Dalonzo's on Main Street this past Thursday. The meeting was called to order by Chamber President Randy Allmon and invocation was offered by Paul Blevins.
Allmon thanked all that helped to make the auction the "huge success" it was. He said they exceeded the goal that they set. He also announced that the treated lumber for the gazebo restoration has been ordered and when that project is completed it'll be a long time before the village will have to face working on it again.
The auction was held primarily to raise funds to pay for the restoration of the gazebo which the Chamber voluntarily took upon themselves with Village Council's blessings. Everything to do with the auction was entirely donated by many organizations and individuals. Our good friends and neighbors from the Western Reserve Trade Councils even volunteered to provide the expertise & labor to do the restoration. By the time it is completed it will be a top notch job and one us folks in Wellsville will be proud of.
Allmon also announced that anyone in need of the new brochures can contact him at 330-843-3475. The new brochures are available at many businesses around town. If you haven't gotten yours yet call Randy.
President-elect Diana Spencer gave a brief overview of the forthcoming Columbiana County Chamber's Official Visitor's Guide & Business Directory. It is being put together by Digicolor, the same outfit that did the Wellsville brochure. The County brochure will be an 8-1/2X11 glossy booklet. Anyone interested in purchasing an ad in the brochure can contact Spencer or Digicolor direct by calling 1-800-352-1184. Wellsville C-of-C is a member of the County Chamber.
Business- of- the- Month for July is Robert's Funeral Home. See below for more on that.
Mrs. Lisa Ferguson, shown above, was the guest speaker at this month's luncheon. Mrs. Feguson is the Assistant Superintendent of Schools, the Principal at Garfield Elementary and Wellsville School's Federal Program Co-ordinator. She is one busy lady. With 30 years teaching experience she said she had three passions in life: sewing, working out & Wellsville schools. She gave a very interesting talk on the condition of our school system and advised that very soon every village resident will be receiving a "report card" of how the school system is doing. Did you know our system operates their own pre-school? It's at the Daw Middle School. Another note of interest is that Wellsville is one of the few schools in the entire state that has a 100% graduation rate.
The August luncheon will be at the Dairy Queen August 27 at noon. Although not sure where it came from Marge Dysert told us at her table that "Common sense is not common". I think it came from Ben Franklin or maybe Thomas Payne. I'm not sure either.
