The month of June will be a busy month.  The Grand Opening for the new Lodge at Ginegaw Park was last Thursday.  So many people worked so hard (volunteers) in making this happen it is incredible.  Someday I will add up the hours and figure out how much money the volunteer workers (and donations) saved the town.  We had some more last minute help:  Tom Keenan gave us a large discount on the plantings and Red’s landscape planted them.  John Wesselman came down and worked over the weekend too.  North Star Supply donated HVAC items and The Friends of the Walworth Park donated money for the tables.  It looks wonderful!   I sincerely hope that over the last few months I have mentioned every person  who donated or volunteered at the Lodge.  If I someone missed someone please let me know.  We had the ribbon cutting and then our town board meeting right there in the pavilion.
Our next big event is The Festival in the Park, July 24th and 25th.  The Lions club is working hard to make this a fun event for all family members. There are some new events included that we hope will be enjoyed by all age groups.  Watch the papers for more information.
The construction in West Walworth should be done by the middle to the end of July.    Construction on Atlantic Ave, between Downs Road and 350, should start sometime in August and will last only a couple of weeks. 
Thanks to Sandy Allen, Lowes and a Boy Scout, the planters in the hamlet are filled with geraniums and Marigolds.  They are a pleasure to look at.  We are looking for anyone who would like to volunteer to build a few planters for the other hamlets.  How about another Eagle Project?  (hint, hint)
The end of June brings Graduations!  Congratulations to all of you who are graduating.  Please make sure you stay safe at and after all your graduation festivities.
At the county level:   we are discussing ways to lower the budget for next year!   This is a hard task because the State of New York keeps imposing mandates (that cost money) and is reducing the amount of money they send us to fulfill these requirements.
Despite all the financial problems we have at the state, county, town and personal levels, I am still grateful to live in the United States. I am especially thankful to live in the Town of Walworth where the community has stepped forward so many times in the past to work together and make things happen.  

Enjoy the beautiful weather and stay safe.
