WELLSVILLE — At its annual awards ceremony and community celebration, the Wellsville Area Chamber of Commerce recognized individuals, groups and businesses for their contribution to the community over the last year. Reviewing the year’s events the evening of May 17, Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Bruce Thomas told the capacity crowd at the Wellsville Country Club that the Chamber is in great shape after a successful year. Along with the review and Chamber report the purpose of the evening was to recognize service to the community. Nominations were accepted by the Chamber board, earlier this year and then voted on the winners. This year there were nine awards, with recipients receiving plaques. The winners are: • Community Service: Ken Didion for his service as treasurer to the Chamber and his help with computer programming and the Chamber’s new website. • Educator of the Year: Dr. Kenneth Canfield, a long-time Wellsville teacher who developed speech therapy programs for the district and for school districts throughout the county.

She added that business has grown by leaps and bounds this past year and opened up many new markets. • Service Award: Patrick Sawyer for his service to the Chamber, who was unable to attend the event. “You may be on vacation where you buy a candle, and that candle was probably made by us right here in beautiful Wellsville,” she said. At the end of the meeting, Thomas told the board that the Chamber is reaching out to the Cuba Chamber and the Houghton Chamber to work together and create more programs to benefit the area.
