March 2011
On March 15th, the Board of Supervisors appointed Deb DeRue to represent the Town of Williamson for a one-year term on the Wayne County Youth Board. Deb, an active scout leader for the past ten years, was previously Committee Chairperson for Cub Scout Pack #521. She is presently Committee Chairperson of Boy Scout Troop #90 and is the Activities & Civic Service Committee Chairperson for Seneca District, Seneca Waterways Council, Boy Scouts of America. Her family's passion for baseball also moved her to become a member of the Williamson Baseball Boosters, supporting the organization in its endeavor to strengthen and improve our community's youth baseball program.
The Water department will soon commence replacement of approximately 7,500 feet of 60-year old water main located on the south side of Lake Road. The project will begin at 3635 Lake Road and go west ending at the intersection of Lake Road and Stoney Lonesome Road. There will be some intermittent traffic flow interruptions so please be aware. The project should be completed by mid-summer.
On March 1st, Williamson High School junior Christian Baker placed first at the semi-final round of the Rotary District 7120 Oratorical Contest on Ethics. Christian will compete in the final round of competition on Saturday March 26th from 12 noon until 4:00 p.m. at SUNY Brockport, in the New York Room at Cooper Hall. The Oratorical Contest is sponsored jointly by Rotary and Rochester area colleges. Christian was sponsored by the Williamson Rotary Club.

At the April 4th meeting Lindsey Gerstenslager, District Manager of the Wayne County Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) will be making a presentation regarding the activities of the SWCD. If you have an interest in Rotary, please contact me.
The Williamson Farmers’ Market Committee, headed by Councilman Gary Orbaker, was established to inquire as to the feasibility of a farmers’ market in Williamson. The committee was scheduled to present preliminary findings and recommendations to the Town Board at the March 22nd meeting.
