Thankfully, warmer weather seems to be making its way to Greece! We are now officially in the planning stages for all our Spring and Summer events.
I would like to remind high school students that there is still time to submit applications for the Jerry J. Helfer Youth Engagement Scholarship. This scholarship provides the Greece community with the opportunity to recognize a student that regularly upholds exemplary moral values, devotes time and energy into helping serve the Greece community, and consistently displays outstanding leadership skills. Scholarship applications can be found on the Town of Greece website: https://greeceny.gov/residents/jerry-j-helfer-youth/. The scholarship deadline is Friday, May 23, 2025.
Two upcoming events that we would love to have you join us for are our Memorial Day Parade and Remembrance Ceremony and the Jerry J. Helfer Memorial Food Truck Rodeo and Summer Concert. The Memorial Day Parade will take place on Monday, May 26. More details to follow! The Jerry J. Helfer Food Truck Rodeo and Summer Concert will take place Wednesday, June 4, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Greece Town Hall Campus. Join us for this free event featuring Zac Brown Tribute Band and enjoy a delicious meal from one of the participating food trucks!
I am proud to announce that the Town of Greece has received two awards from the American Public Works Association (APWA) for the renovation and expansion project conducted at “The Center” on the Greece Town Hall Campus. Since reopening in January 2024, visits to The Center have more than doubled in one year, from 112,672 to 228,902. To learn more about what The Center has to offer and to register for a membership, please call 723-2425 or email GreeceParksandRec@Greeceny.gov.
As always, I enjoy hearing feedback from residents about programming and other Town-related matters. If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the town or visit our website: www.greeceny.gov.
