It’s May. You know, May Day, Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day, Memorial Day. If there isn’t enough celebrating there you can add a host of other days to the list: Mother Goose Day, Beverage Day, Clean up your Room Day, Eat what you want Day (that would be every day for me), Love a Tree Day, Lucky Penny Day, Tap Dance Day, National Hamburger Day and Water a Flower Day. There are more, lots more “days” in May. In fact, there are seven different days on May 12th alone!
You only need to worry about a few dates in May beyond the “usual” days. On May 10th, the Chamber “crew” will be participating in the United Way Day of Caring at Heritage Christian Staples on Salt Road. This is from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM – if you would like to help and join the “crew” call the office and we will get you the details.
On May 11th, we have a Power Hour on “How to Deal with Difficult People – Part II” where you will learn about crucial conversations and get tips and real-life scenarios to help you learn.
On May 18th we will be having our monthly breakfast (early because of the holiday) at the Columbus Center. This breakfast we will be electing some new directors to the Chamber Board and we will be getting a presentation from the Webster Economic Development Alliance. Please try to attend if possible.
On May 28th, the Chamber office will be closed for the holiday.
On May 4th, you missed a great presentation by AYS Technologies on the Software Applications that we Use and Love. If you need some help tracking sales leads, mileage, task lists, or passwords, you need to look at this presentation. He covered a lot of information about software to make running your business a lot easier. Zach Deane did a great job and shared his slides with us in this newsletter. Check it out!
At our last breakfast, we got to see a presentation from the National Safety Council on distracted driving. Did you know that vehicle accidents are the number one cause of WORKPLACE injuries? We posted the presentation on our website. Take a minute to look and learn.
Lastly, at our June breakfast (on June 29th), we will be honoring longevity businesses. These are Chamber members that have been in business for 25 or more years. We honor on the 5-year marks (25, 30, 35, etc.). If your business is celebrating one of these anniversaries this year, please call Barb and make sure you are on the list to be honored.
Have a good Month of May. Celebrate every chance you get but please think safety this month. As we unbundle from our winter hibernation, think about power tools, water, traveling, campfires, cookouts, holidays and cold beers. Have a safe and awesome month!

Governor Cuomo has put forth a proposal to eliminate the tipped minimum wage for restaurant workers. If enacted, this change could have a devastating impact on both local restaurants workers and owners.
If the tipped minimum wage credit is eliminated, tipped workers would receive minimum wage plus the tips that they earn. This change will increase the cost of doing business and potentially jeopardize the jobs of many hardworking waiters and waitresses who are trying to make ends meet and to provide for their families.
The Commissioner of the Department of Labor will be holding hearings on this issue. It is important that the Commissioner hear directly from you- the restaurant owners and tipped workers who will be impacted by this proposal. I urge you to consider taking the time to attend one of these hearings and share your views. Pre-registration is required. To register, please call 518-457-5519 or email hearing@labor.ny.gov.
If you are unable to personally attend a hearing, please send your written comments by July 1, 2018, to hearing@labor.ny.gov.
