At our October meeting it was
decided that we would begin
having our regular membership
meeting every other month, and
our directors would meet on the
off months. At the November
director’s meeting, sub commit-
tees were created. They are as
follows:
Welcome Wagon: Martha Bai-
ley/ Jackie Whiting
Website: Bill Kettle/ John
Whiting/ Jackie Whiting
Events: Martha Bailey
Membership & Viability: Sam
Vagg/ Ben Deragon/ Randy
Vink
John Whiting said his commit-
tee was in the process of setting
up a meeting with the town to
work on updating our current
website. Martha Bailey said she
is looking for anyone that would
like to help her work on coordi-
nating events, or brainstorming
new ideas for events. Sam Vagg
reported on behalf of the Mem-
bership & Viability commit-
tee. The committee is working
on increasing benefits to LBC
members, and increasing mem-
bership. They are also working
on collaboration on promoting
local business within local busi-
nesses. More details to follow.
Bob Bennett encouraged other
members to get involved on a
committee.
Sam Vagg gave a report on Le-
Roy Business Council’s “First
Night Celebration”. Sponsor-
ships continue to come in. She
reminded the group to please
continue to sell tickets. The
drawing for the prizes will
be December 22nd at around
6:30pm at The Smokin’ Eagle.
Please make sure all tickets are
turned in prior to then. The fire-
works are all set, and it will be
a beautiful show on December
31st at 9pm on the Creekbank.
Donna Grambach from the
Women of the Moose came to
report on Winterfest. She said
after a slow start, the event was a
huge success. During the event,
the Moose raised $362.00 for
the Food Pantry, and $250.00
for the Backpack Program. She
said the committee has many
ideas how to grow the event
next year, and thanked LeRoy
Business Council for their sup-
port.
Shelley Stein reported on the
County. Shelley reported that
there will be an increase in
County taxes this year. This is
due to a 14% increase in Health-
care costs, and increases in con-
tracts. The Nursing Home sale
is pending. When the county
receives the funds from the sale,
6.2 million will go to operating
borrowings, and the rest will go
towards capital improvements
on roads & bridges. Shelley
also reported that there is ap-
proximately $7500.00 left in
the America’s Best Commu-
nity fund. The committee has
decided to allocate the funds to
help students in LeRoy & By-
ron- Bergen receive job skills
training through the Business
Education Alliance. Shelley
also reported the negation of
sales tax between the county
and municipalities is ongoing.
The county is also is phase 2 of
providing public water to mu-
nicipalities on the east side of
the county.
Our next Board of Directors
meeting will be January 9th, due
to the holiday, at the Moose at
5:30pm. The next membership
meeting will be February 6th, at
5:30pm, at location TBD.
There was a motion by Jim Niel-
sen to adjourn, seconded by Jeff
Deragon. Meeting adjourned at
6:20.
