Page 14 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • September 11, 2013 Dear Readers: It’s back-to-school time already. Soon, we will be pulling sweaters out of storage again and looking forward to all the spec- tacular color fall has to offer. As we all get back to our fall schedules, I would like to invite local businesses to the Wyckoff Chamber of Commerce’s Sept. 19 meeting, which will be held at 8 a.m. at the Wyckoff YMCA’s McBride Lake House, 691 Wyckoff Avenue in Wyckoff. The guest speaker will be Wyckoff Superintendent of Schools Richard Kuder. In addition, Nelson Castellanos of Bank of America will pres- ent Member Moments. Be sure to be part of this informative first meeting of the year. This is a great opportu- nity to make new connections and promote your business. RSVP at (201) 468-1999 as a light breakfast will be served. The Wyckoff Chamber will be imple- menting many new ideas on our website and at our meetings. We welcome input. Visit www.wyckoffchamber.com, for details. Wyckoff’s business community appre- ciates the many local residents who shop locally. This includes not only retail, but also business professionals. Flourishing businesses give back to the community in many ways, so money spent in Wyckoff ends up staying in Wyckoff. This allows for more monies to become available for our much-needed local services, including the police department, fire department, ambu- lance corps, library, schools, and recreation department. Jay Vidockler, President Wyckoff Chamber of Commerce Community Blood Drive announced Christian Health Care Center in Wyck- off will hold a Community Blood Drive on Wednesday, Sept. 11.
