Missing Sodus It's Easter weekend and spring now seems to be sticking around. The kids have Easter break. (Or is it called spring break?) Hopefully, everyone has seen their first robin. The flowers are coming up the weather is warmer. All is good. Just something fun to add to your calendars, I'll remind you when the time is closer: The Sodus Chamber has exciting news: $1700 was raised for Scholarships - this is the most we've ever had! Many thanks to all who donated, and of course, to all who bought tickets! We had 121 people attend the Citizen of the Year Banquet - another big number for our recent history! Many thanks to Griff for doing a fine job as MC, and to Julie Schuldt and Linda Patchen for taking care of the raffle drawing. Sodus Bay Heights Restaurant came through for us again and many thanks to them. And just to keep the good news going - we have 20 vendors signed up for the Olde Tyme Country Faire so far; last year at this time we only had 13 signed up (out of 45 total) so, it looks like we're on our way to a big success. If anyone is going to antique shows, craft shows, etc., please take flyers with you. And, Sampling Sodus has 12 out of the 17 spots available filled so far. If you want to be part of this, you'd better hurry and get your spot. Remember, it's at the Fly In Breakfast, so there will be a big crowd. To those already signed up, there are parking passes to park off Route 104. From the Sodus Free Library: Books-Sandwiched-In at Sodus Free Library: April's Books-Sandwiched-In will feature Christine Sanguedolce discussing 'Planting Perennials in Containers.' The luncheon will start at noon on Monday, April 17. Registration is limited, so call 483.9292 or stop by the Library at 17 Maple Avenue to reserve your place for this timely presentation (and a delicious lunch!). April 20: Meet the Author Program at Sodus Free Library. Local author Susan Peterson Gateley will present a program and readings on Lake Ontario shipwrecks and rescues at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 20. The program is based on Peterson Gateley's most recent book, 'Ariadne's Death: Tales of Heroism and Tragedy on Lake Ontario.' Registration is not required; call 483.9292 or stop by the Library.
