YET ANOTHER CROWD FOR GOOD MORNING BUFFALO HOSTED BY HAIR ARCHITECTS

Many guests were quite amazed at all that Hair Architects Salon & Day Spa had to offer and the rooms are all appointed so beautifully! Remember gift cards make a perfect present under the tree!

Thank you to Marie and Bri and staff for giving us the special tour!

THERE WAS ALSO A GOOD TURNOUT AT THE OPEN HOUSE OF OUR SUPERSHELF FOODSHELF!

Many came to thank Fred Naaktgeboren and Roger Brenny for their many years of service and welcome Laureen Bodin to her new role. Fred said he'd be sticking around - it's in his blood! Appreciate all the staff and volunteers that support our food shelf. Speaking from experience from volunteering years ago until now - it has changed a lot - and very much so for the better!

New paint, new signage, a retail-like environment that improves the shoppers experience/reduces stigma, and a new layout that showcases fresh and nutritious foods...all have made our Buffalo Food Shelf - a SuperShelf! There are 65 certified SuperShelves with 33 more in progress!

UTILITIES CAMPUS OPEN HOUSE ASUCCESS!

Melissa and I stopped in at the City Utilities campus and said hello to Zappy (aka Carmen Merrill) and the other City staff as they served up some delicious pulled pork and educated kids and adults on our water treatment process, electricity, fiber and more! Kids enjoyed seeing a police car and fire truck or taking a ride in the bucket! They make it fun to show all the services the City of Buffalo provides.
