Prior to the renovations, the
building was a residence. The
interior of the building was completely remodeled. The stucco exterior was refinished, trim was
repainted and all new shutters were added. Porches were installed in the rear of the building and
the garage door was removed and replaced with a bow window. Improvements also include new
exterior doors, soffits and facia. Ceramic tile was installed on the floor of the front porch and
decorative brick sidewalks were added to the front and rear of the building. A rear parking lot,
landscaping, exterior lighting and new outdoor signage complete the facelift to this property.
The Chamber applauds Jack Berstch and Birch Run for their significant investment in and
commitment to our community.
If you would like to nominate a business that has made physical improvements to its facility,
submit their name and address to the Orchard Park Chamber of Commerce. The next award will
be presented in March.

From The Desk Of The Executive Director
A Year To Celebrate!
2014 marks the 50th Anniversary of The Orchard Park Chamber of
Commerce, Inc. The organization was incorporated during the
tumultuous sixties, a time when change surrounded us in all aspects
of life.
The Chamber had its roots in the Businessmen’s Association that
was formed in 1952 to unite in promoting the growth of Orchard
Park. Early in 1963, with nearly 100 individuals in attendance, a
meeting was held to discuss forming a chamber of commerce.
Membership applications were distributed and 55 joined. On
August 14, 1964, the Orchard Park Chamber of Commerce was
incorporated.
It was the year the Ed Sullivan Show presented the Beatles to
America. I recall watching with my Dad, who muttered a few
choice words about the long-haired hippies that played I Want to
Hold Your Hand. Kellogg’s Pop Tarts appeared on grocery shelves
and instant coffee was introduced by General Foods. Warning
messages were proposed for cigarette packs and the ever-popular
Ford Mustang made its debut with a price tag of $2,338.
Much like Pop Tarts, instant coffee and the Mustang, the Chamber
has endured. We have embraced the inevitable changes that have
occurred throughout the years, but have stayed true to our purpose.
We offer many programs, services and benefits designed to help
businesses prosper. One of the most tangible of these is group
health and dental insurance. The passage of the Affordable Care
Act brought significant change and in response, the Chamber has
done everything possible to ensure that in addition to options
through the state’s exchange, members have access to a variety of
health insurance plans outside the exchange as well. We continue
to offer plans to employers and to the smallest of businesses, the
sole proprietor.
A long line of men and women have stepped forward to lead this
organization. Our first president, Charles L. Gerecke, helped draw
the blueprints and construct the foundation on which we continue to
grow. 39 individuals have followed his lead, serving as president of
the Chamber. Countless others have served on our Board of
Directors. It is through their combined efforts that the Orchard Park
Chamber has become the largest in the Southtowns.
As we prepare to celebrate our 50th Anniversary, we are very
grateful to Dennis Jewell, 1981-82 Chamber president, for his
assistance in compiling historical information about our former
presidents. Sadly, we’ve learned that at least nine of them are
deceased, but we hope to recognize them all as we recall 50 years of
service to the community.
There have been many changes impacting the Chamber in the past
50 years, but some things have remained the same, especially our
commitment to Orchard Park. The Chamber is continually striving
to meet the needs of the Orchard Park business community. I
welcome and encourage your participation in our effort!
Travel To China Or The Land Down Under!
The Chamber is offering an amazing opportunity for you to visit China in October. This 9day tour includes airfare from JFK, accommodations in four and five star hotels, all meals,
deluxe bus tours, English speaking guides, admission to tourist spots and airport taxes, all for
just $2,399! Optional bus transportation between Buffalo and JFK is also included.
Many Orchard Park residents have taken this trip and agree that it was all it promised to be
and more. You will walk through Tian’Anmen Square, climb the Great Wall, visit a 1,500year old Buddhist temple and much more. You will also see how fibers are extracted from
the cocoons of silk worms and woven into threads for silk garments; how green tea leaves
are harvested and made into the finished product; and learn how to choose quality jade.
This trip-of-a-lifetime, which is always an early sell-out, departs on October 15, 2014. A
$200 deposit will hold your spot, and is fully refundable until July 1.
Many Orchard Park residents have taken the Chamber’s trip to China and are looking for
another unique destination. If Australia and Figi are on your bucket list of places to visit,
you won’t want to miss “A Taste of the South Pacific.” The 13-day trip departs on February 2, 2015.
You’ll set out on high speed catamaran for an exciting excursion to the Great Barrier
Reef and explore from your base on Green Island. Visit the Tjapukai Aboriginal
Cultural Centre to meet Australia’s original inhabitants. Get up-close and personal
with crocodiles in their natural habitat at Hartley’s Croc Farm! Meet some of the local
koalas and have a private talk with a wildlife naturalist to learn more about these
cuddly creatures. Discover one of the world’s most fascinating architectural sights as
you take a guided tour of the Sydney Opera House. Take in the sights during a
delightful dinner cruise of Sydney Harbour. Spend three nights in the beautiful
tropical paradise of Fiji to complete your South Pacific experience.
Priced at $4,699 per person if booked by August 2 (based on double occupancy), this
tour includes roundtrip airfare from Buffalo, accommodations at first-class hotels, 15
meals, admission to tourist spots on the itinerary, deluxe motorcoach transportation
and services of a professional tour manager. A $250 deposit will hold your spot and is
fully refundable until September 4. The Chamber will host a slide presentation for “A
Taste of the South Pacific” on Wednesday, April 9 at 5:30 p.m. Call the Chamber at 662-3366 to reserve your spot! To learn more about either
of these trips, visit our website at OrchardParkChamber.org or call the office.
