With the exception of the pandemic shutdown year, 2021, the joint meeting has been convened annually for many years as a means of hearing about each other’s roles in the community as well as projects carried out and planned. Of common interest was an announcement by the Barge Canal Optimists’ Laura Ferris about a brainstorming and planning meeting called “Celebrate Community” set for Saturday, May 14
th at 2 pm at the VFW Post 2532, 112 Caledonia Street, Lockport. Representatives from all Lockport service clubs are invited and encouraged to attend – bringing ideas for a community project. Last year, the clubs sponsored a drive-through fundraiser to assist Lockport Cares, an organization serving the temporarily homeless.
Representative Norris spoke about his changing district, NYS budget issues and what an assemblyman does.
