Among other things, this includes the New Member Luncheons organized by the Warwick Valley Chamber of Commerce. On behalf of WVCC, I would like to thank Rogowski Farm in Pine Island, Ciao Bella of Warwick, and El Azteca in Florida for hosting New Member Luncheon for the months of June, July and August.

Owner Donald Nusio relocated from Long Island after several visits with his wife, Debbie, who just fell in love with the area. “There are so few places left with that quaint, small town feel, when we drove through, it just felt like home.” With their two children away at school, it seemed like the perfect time to make the move.

The Chamber Connection 3 From the Caboose by Executive Director Michael Johndrow Great Jazz & Farm Aid Warwick Valley Jazz Festival musicians performed at the Warwick Farm Aid Benefit on Sunday, September 25 to bring in funding for this worthy cause. The Warwick Valley Jazz Festival was held in August for the second smooth year, and turned out to be quite a successful four-day event. The great American musical art form, better known as jazz, was celebrated in a host of local venues— heard in such popular Warwick haunts as Coquito, The Dautaj, Warwick Grove, and Utopian Direction Books & Art. The Village of Warwick Concert Series and the Music in the Courtyard Concert Series also held a coinciding fourteen-show festival this summer. Festival organizer Steve Rubin wishes to thank the venue owners, sponsors, audience, and the wonderful musicians who made this all possible. Scenic Townhomes Warwick Grove is now selling townhomes and single-family homes in The Conservation Series final phase. With scenic nature views, they’re the last best of Warwick Grove, a timeless neighborhood for active adults featuring homes with classic architecture and contemporary floor plans. A very limited number of condominium, townhomes and singlefamily homes are available in our first phases at extreme savings. Return to village life at Warwick Grove and enjoy all that our vibrant village of Warwick has to offer, just minutes away from your dream home. Warwick Grove Showcase & Design Center, 4 Hudson Street, (845) 988-5274, www.warwick-grove.com. It is mid-September, and we are still recovering from Hurricane Irene. Most of us are okay, but our Black Dirt Farmers are suffering enormously from ruined crops. As is typical of our wonderful area, a grass roots fund-raising program was instigated by Paul Caskey, Ray Bryant and Cheryl Rogowski, titled Warwick Valley Farm Aid. In order to facilitate distribution of the proceeds, an application process for farmers is currently being developed. The Chamber assisted this worthy effort by collecting credit card donations on our WVCC website, absorbing all of the credit card fees. Thank you to all who came together to help our people in need – it was truly appreciated! On September 13th, after a stressful period of “nail-biting,” we were blessed with a night of perfect weather for our 18th annual Taste of Warwick. The 24 area restaurants provided a delectable variety of samplings for nearly 300 guests. The event was enhanced by the Warwick Valley Winery & Distillery’s new outdoor patio space, and the E’lissa Jones Trio provided fabulous music, contributing to the memorable evening. A heartfelt thank you goes out to this year’s major sponsors: St. Anthony’s Community Hospital and Aspen Environmental. The Warwick Merchant’s Guild has never been more active, and their efforts have been exceptional thus far this year. Recent events included the Sidewalk Sale and the quickly-becoming-famous Ladies’ Nite Out. Enthusiastic congratulations are extended to all our hard-working merchants. Our 23rd Annual Applefest, true to form, promises to be a spectacular event yet again. It is good to remember that many non-profit organizations benefit from this one-day fund raiser every year. To give you a little “heads-up” on upcoming fall Chamber events: Our 72nd Annual Chamber Dinner, November 12th at the Warwick Valley Country Club, will be a “not to be missed” event. December 8th will see our festive Holiday Mixer, this time being held at Catlin Garden’s new facilities. Get your reservations in early for both celebrations. We hope to see you there! As is my habit and pleasure, I’d like to share some Chamber statistics for the last three months: 9 ribbon cuttings; 12 networking events; 31 new members. Speaking of networking… it’s a great idea and a proven method of increasing awareness of who you are and what your business is about. I hope to see you all at our fall luncheons, dinners, and mixers! Seely & Durland Garners National Recognition Seely & Durland Insurance had the privilege of being honored as the Marketing Agency of the Month by the renowned insurance publication, Rough Notes Company. The article appears in the September 2011 edition which just hit the streets nationwide. This is a tremendous honor for Seely & Durland, based on many factors which include relationships within their home town; use of technology to improve the level of service to their clients; and overall community service. One of the photographs in this issue is our WVCC Executive Director in front of the Caboose.

As a member since February last year, I cannot say enough about what a valuable experience it has been. Although I was intimidated and unsure of what to expect, Ryan and Katie Hansen have established a truly motivating and positive environment I look forward to going every day. Not only does Crossfit Warwick empower you to find out what you’re capable of, it inspires you to go further,” said third grade teacher, and Warwick resident Lori Stewart. Senior Care Move Maryann Peters of Organize 4 You, www.organize4youny. com, feels that when a move into a senior living place occurs there should be as little stress on the family members as possible. The senior moving should feel as much “at home” as possible. Organize 4 You can help to minimize, pack articles and immediately take away the stress that normally goes towards the children. Professional Organizer Maryann Peters takes a few things from home to place in similar areas in the new home. Clothes are unpacked before arrival so there is a connection to the old life with the excitement of the new one.
