Hey Brooks Landing Neighbors and Friends!

Many things have happened in the neighborhood over the last 4-6 months. We normally like to put out a newsletter to publicize the highlights a little more frequently, but it got away from us this season! I hope you enjoy reading about what's been going on in your community and save the date for some upcoming events. Without further ado, we give you the Brooks Landing Healthy Blocks Fall-Winter 2010 Update: …

It's a very cold and snowy day here in the city and i decided to run some errands. While driving down Genesee Park Blvd I came across a man who was sitting on the corner of Lehigh with a bicycle laying next to him. A car had stopped but he waved them on. I slowed down to see if he got up and it seemed that he wasn't able to so I turned around stopped and talked with him. As I approached him he tried to get up but fell again. I offered to help him get up and then realized that he was…

Time is running out! There are only FIVE DAYS left to shop our International Marketplace in Gates! We've marked down a number of items by 30%. These are items such as carvings, plates, and cushtions, that are too difficult to take with us on our "traveling road show". It's time to move these items "out" to make room for now, so YOU get the benefit!!

Don't forget, we're only open until 6pm THIS COMING SUNDAY (11/28) and we're closed on…

We just entered Week 3 of Kingdom Ventures' International Marketplace (Westgate Plaza in Gates)!

We have a Special Opportunity for those of you who are early risers! TOMORROW (Tuesday 11/16) you can shop our store starting at 6am! Why, you ask? Because YNN (Cable Channel 9) will be taping segments tomorrow to use on their Early Show. They'll be here with their truck at 5:45 and go on the air at 6am!

We…

Congratulations on the Cuomo/Duffy win in the elections! Was there any question who the best candidates were? No!

Let's hope Lt. Gov.-elect Duffy can fulfill promises to help upstate NY and Rochester rebuild and reach some of its potential. I look forward to seeing him work to do more for Rochester in his new position than he could as Mayor, as has been said. It was heartening to hear Cuomo reiterate this thought tonight after the election. We can only…

Well, it's not QUITE in the 19th Ward, but it's right next door!

TODAY, November 1, through the 29th, Kingdom Ventures is holding their International Marketplace in the Westgate (Wal-Mart) Plaza. We're right between Starbucks and HairZoo in the front of the plaza. Fair Trade products are a great way to give this holiday season because they not only benefit the recipient, but also the artisan who produced them.

Our Fair Trade products come from seven countries…

If you are willing, please turn on your porch lights at night. One resident on Enterprise, and I am sure there may be more, leaves the house to go to work at 11:30 PM. Many times I am just getting home from work then. There are only three street lights on our street area, and it is quite dark, so this would help. It is also known that lighting helps prevent crime, so a good thing for you as well. This was a direct request about lighting from a neighbor, so see if you can help. With Daylight…

Movers pull up Nov. 26, and I will be in my new place in Verona, WI, by Dec. 3.



I am holding an event to say goodbye to my friends in Rochester on Saturday, Nov. 20, in the…
