Chamber Perspectives Frank C. Muggia, Esq. – 2015 President We’re Adding Value To Your Membership! New For 2015 www.OrchardParkChamber.org A Word From New Members Beautification Award Presented The Chamber is pleased to announce that Buffalo Medical Group, P.C., 3900 North Buffalo Road, is the recipient of its December Business Community Beautification Award. The Selection Committee, chaired by Joe Wales of W.G. Arthur Co., chose this property because it has enhanced our business community and is an asset to Orchard Park. The attractive new building is situated on the site of the former Saville’s plaza. Building into the natural slope of the land lessened the impact of a two-story structure from the roadside. However, as you drive on Holland Lane towards the extensive parking area behind the building, the structure begins to reveal its true size and character as a large multispecialty medical complex. Part of the Saville’s structure was incorporated into the new design in what is now the primary care division. Original bricks were utilized and new bricks were selected to match the color, blending the old with the new. Colonial components are in keeping with neighboring buildings and rooflines were kept residential in nature to minimize the impact of a large commercial building. The Chamber applauds Buffalo Medical Group for their significant investment in and commitment to our community, and wishes them continued success in their beautiful new facility! If you would like to nominate a business that has made physical improvements to its facility, submit their name and address to the Orchard Park Chamber of Commerce. The next award will be presented in March. Orchard Park Pride Program Recognizes Students There are many things that are right and good in our schools, our community and our business sector. The Orchard Park Pride program gets that message out each year by honoring and symbolizing those things right and good. Now in its 27th year, Orchard Park Pride recognizes about 10% of the senior class for outstanding character, leadership and achievement. It showcases local career opportunities for students who want to remain in the area after college. Representatives from the Chamber, local businesses, Orchard Park High School and the community identify deserving students and promote links between these students and the local business community. Each year, more than 50 businesses and individuals sponsor Orchard Park Pride students, recognizing that the program gives them a chance to become involved in education. The sponsor will sit with the student and his or her family at the Pride Dinner on April 30th, presenting an opportunity for discussion about career tips and possibilities. Sponsors are encouraged to invite their student to their place of business for a shadowing day to give more insight into their career field. We hope you will consider adding your name to the sponsor list. If you would like more information, please call Amy See at 209-6272.

Associate Member With Our Thanks There is a consensus that volunteerism is dwindling. People have less time to give and there are many demands on their limited free time. We are fortunate to have many individuals who are still willing to commit to volunteer supported organizations, and we would like to recognize the following who have chaired or co-chaired an activity sponsored by the Chamber in 2014. Our sincerest thank you is extended to: Legislative Update In December, Governor Cuomo signed a bill eliminating employers’ requirement to notify and receive written acknowledgement from every worker about their rate of pay, allowances, pay day, etc. before February 1 of each year. The Department of Labor will not require annual statements in 2015. Businesses are still required to notify employees as required at the time of hire.
