SUPERVISOR GROMACK AND TOWN BOARD RECOGNIZE
BUSINESSES
IN THE CLARKSTOWN VOLUNTEER INCENTIVE
PROGRAM
(New City, NY)
- Supervisor Alex Gromack and the Town Board will recognize over 100 local
businesses participating in the Clarkstown Volunteer Incentive Program (CVIP)
tomorrow from 8:30 am to 9:30 am at Town Hall, Room 301.
Each year the
Town Board asks local merchants to join the CVIP by providing a discount to all
eligible emergency service volunteers in Clarkstown.
“We are always
looking for ways to benefit our volunteers and this program was created to
thank them for all of the selfless, hard work and dedication they so generously
provide to our town,” said Supervisor Gromack.
The Town Board
will recognize over 100 local businesses that have agreed to offer discounts to
Clarkstown’s emergency service volunteers. Volunteers can find the list of participating
businesses on the town’s website at town.clarkstown.ny.us
under “community”.
“We want to
thank the businesses for joining us in supporting our volunteers,” said
Gromack. “Our businesses have always
been active members of the community.
CVIP is a good way to say thank you to our volunteers and is a great
advertisement for our businesses. It is
a win-win situation for everyone.”
“Our emergency
service volunteers give up time away from their families and put their lives on
the line to serve Clarkstown,” said Councilman John Maloney. “This program is a great way to thank them.”
“To have so
many businesses participating in these economic times is a true testament to
our emergency service volunteers,” said Councilwoman Shirley Lasker.
“This is a
manner in which the Town can work with our local businesses to benefit our
residents who so bravely volunteer,” said Councilman Frank Borelli.
“I am proud that
the Town collaborated with our local businesses to offer this great program to
our volunteers who protect the health and safety of us all,” said Councilman
George Hoehmann.
“We encourage
our volunteers to take advantage of this program,” concluded Supervisor
Gromack. For more information please
