Wellsville Chamber cleans up for summer season BY KATHRYN ROSS
WELLSVILLE — With another successful community cleanup in the rearview mirror, the village is not only sparkling clean, but also ready for what the Chamber of Commerce has planned for the upcoming weeks and months. On April 15, dozens took part in the second annual cleanup of Main Street. Wielding
shovels and brooms on Main Street and in alleys and lots, they collected dozens of bags of residue and trash left behind after six months of winter weather. The event was organized by the Chamber, which called on its members and for volunteers to participate in the marathon cleanup. Bruce Thomas, CEO of the Wellsville Area Chamber of Commerce (WACOC), said around
80 volunteered for the cleanup with several organizations lending a hand. Downtown was cleaned up just in time for the Chamber’s annual Wine Walk scheduled for April 29. This ticket-only-event is so popular it sold out within two days. Thomas said while the number of participants was increased this year, it will probably be increased again in 2024.
The Chamber will also be celebrating its Annual Awards Ceremony in May. Karen Kania, membership coordinator said the Chamber will soon be revealing the identities of those to be honored — large business, small (new) business, citizen of the year and the spirit of Wellsville. On June 1 at the Wellsville Country Club, the Chamber will host its Annual Golf Tournament
and Clambake. The cost is $500 per foursome to play. Cart and Tee sponsorships are available. Thomas said this is one of the Chamber‘s biggest fundraisers. Throughout the summer the Chamber is planning to host other events including a Chalk Walk with the date to be announced. “This is something Wellsville Chamber continued on PAGE 2
