...from Gardiner Association Of Businesses
Greetings!  

School is out! It's time for beach vacations and bar-b-ques!  But for some small business owners in Gardiner it's time to gear up for the tourist season.  College students are replaced by retirees, skiers by climbers.  No rest for the weary.  With all that in mind, we promise to make this newletter short and sweet.
 
We have some exciting events just over the horizon - and before you know it winter will be back!

Michael NelsonOur first scholarships were presented by GAB President, Leitha M. Ortiz-Lesh, to two graduating seniors from our local school districts:  Michael Nelson from Wallkill Central School District (pictured here with his parents David and Melissa); and Joseph Ridgeway from New Paltz Central School District.  Michael will begin school in the fall at Universal Technical Institute in Exton, PA in his pursuit of a career as an auto technician.  Joseph has already taken his DOT exam to reach his goal of becoming a Union Welder.  These career choices require tools and supplies that come at a very high price.  We are happy to be able to assist these future entrepreneurs in realizing their dreams.
