Empty Bowl Lunch Postponed due to Rain
In spite of valiant efforts to prepare for inclement weather, St. Susan Center's Empty Bowl Lunch in Bemus had to be canceled today. The new date has not yet been set, but all soup vendors and both bands have said that they will participate at the new time. My sincerest apologies to all who are inconvenienced by the postponement and my thanks to all who have been so supportive! ~ Judy
Hope Fights Hunger
 | Everywhere you look you see signs of a troubled economy and everywhere you go you hear about the financial challenges people are facing. But, if you look in the right places, you will also see signs of hope. In Southern Chautauqua County hope comes in the form of music, dance, and voice and an afternoon of entertainment provided by local students. It’s Notes for Hope 2, a concert to raise money in the fight against hunger. Proceeds will benefit Jamestown’s soup kitchen, St. Susan Center. On Sunday, May 3, 2009, from 2pm to 4pm, Notes for Hope 2 will be held at the Reg Lenna Civic Center. Featured groups include students from the Drama Enrichment Program, Infinity Program of Chautauqua County, Jamestown High School String Orchestra, Jamestown Suzuki Strings, Southwestern High School Band and special guests. Michele Constantino is program director and Beth Strong is stage manager. Tickets for the event are $5 and may be purchased at The Reg Lenna Civic Center box office, at any local Jamestown Savings Bank and at St. Susan Center. In addition to great entertainment, Mike Billoni, former Vice President of the Buffalo Bisons, now Marketing and Public Relations Director for the Food Bank of WNY will appear, bringing with him sports memorabilia to be given out during the concert, including an autographed Sabres hockey stick. “A community with compassion is an eternal source of hope – no matter what challenge we face”, that’s according to Judy Christian, executive director of St. Susan Center. In the first quarter of 2009, the Center’s numbers are up 31%. Family oriented events such as Notes for Hope helps the soup kitchen provide nutritious meals for those in our community who enjoy far too few of them. For information, please contact the Center at 664-2253, Ext. 3. For verification, please contact Judy Christian (397-2823). |
Oktoberfest a HUGE success!
The Oktoberfest hosted by Southern Tier Brewing Company, along with Jamestown Awning, Farm Fresh Foods and the Dirty Mountain Band raised $4,256 to help St. Susan Center feed the hungry in our community. The event was a HUGE success.
The weather was "iffy", but a large, heated tent and great beer, brat and music was the perfect combination for more than two hundred people. According to Sara DeMink, who was astounded by the generosity of her customers and employees, "We're definitely going to do this again."
Our sincere thanks to all who participated!
