Asks them to consider joining Clerk’s “Thank-A-Vet” Discount Card Program

Erie County, NY – In an effort to make a round of golf a bit more affordable for Erie County’s Veterans, Erie County Clerk Chris Jacobs sent a letter to all the area golf courses, including the two owned and operated by Erie County, asking that they consider participating in the Clerks’ “Thank-A-Vet” Discount Card Program by offering a discount to County veterans.

“Many of the over 60,000 veterans in Erie County are avid golfers,” said Clerk Jacobs. “With the tough financial times and many vets on fixed incomes, even a small discount for veterans could go a long way to allow our vets to keep swinging their clubs.”

When the phone rings at Russell’s Atelier in West Seneca, owner Russell Cleversley fields calls from across the region from individuals who have heard of his excellent reputation for producing museum-quality art reproductions. Or, perhaps they have seen one of his superb art reproductions or one of his fine art works. Over the course of his more than 40-year career, Cleversley has prepared thousands of original artworks, sculptures and art images for reproduction in museum catalogs as well as limited-edition, archival-quality giclée prints. If you want or need your giclée print to be a faithful match to your original, Russell’s Atelier is the place to go. 

Two family owned businesses are among the first to open their doors within the historic Horsefeathers Building at 346 Connecticut on Buffalo’s West Side. The Pasta Peddler and Blackbird Sweets are now open for business and the proprietors are eager to share their family recipes with their new neighbors and customers.

Founded in 1994, The Pasta Peddler is owned and operated by Eric Amodeo and his father-in-law, Mike Sedia. Blackbird Sweets was founded in 2004 by Andrea Sedia Amodeo, wife of Eric and daughter of Mike.
