COUNCILMAN FRITZ SCHERZ TO HOLD 12th ANNUAL TOWN-WIDE HOLIDAY PARTY!

Fred “Fritz” Scherz, Jr., Councilman on the Verona Town Board, will hold his 12th Annual Holiday Party for all Town of Verona residents on Saturday, December 10th from noon to 2pm at the Verona Fire Hall (5555 Volunteer Ave.) in Verona.

“The prior 11 times I’ve held this community event, it’s been a success because of the big crowd of children and adults that attended, as well as the volunteers, businesses, and media that helped,” said Scherz. “To my family and I, it’s a Christmas party, as we enjoy celebrating that holiday. However, I call it a holiday party as I want folks who don’t celebrate Christmas to know that they are still welcome to attend. Although I have not finished putting together the complete fun-filled lineup of activities and guests, as with prior years I plan on having kid-oriented activities, such as arts, crafts, painting, musicians, and more! There’ll be story telling by some special guests, too. Family-oriented fun will continue to be part of this holiday event, including face painting by Bingo The Clown and even a musical performance by a Veteran who has performed at the Thanksgiving Polka Weekend in Cleveland, Ohio! Hopefully, Santa Claus will take time out of his busy schedule to attend. I also want people to know that as with the all the prior times I’ve held this event, no town funds are being used for it whatsoever as this is not a government-based event. I encourage all residents of Verona, no matter what your age is, to stop by and take part in the festivities!”

The Holiday Party for all Town of Verona residents has free admission and snacks will also be available. If able, attendees are asked to bring a canned good, as a collection will be taken and given to the Verona Food Pantry.

COUNCILMAN FRITZ SCHERZ ANNOUNCES 14th ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIP FOR VOLUNTEER COMMUNITY SERVICE!

Fred “Fritz” Scherz, Jr., Councilman on the Verona Town Board in Verona, NY, has again created the Fred Scherz Sr. Memorial Scholarship for Volunteer Community Service. The 14th annual scholarship will be in the amount of $250 and will be awarded by Fritz to a Town of Verona, New York student who is on track to
graduate from 12th grade at a high school (public or private) or home school by June 30, 2023. Additionally, the student must have lived in the Town of Verona, New York since at least December 1, 2022, and must be voluntarily engaged in community service or must have created a community project that benefits the Town of Verona.

“Since I did the inaugural scholarship back in the spring of 2010 as a way to honor my Dad’s memory, it’s been exciting to see all the great volunteer efforts the winners of the scholarship have been doing,” said Scherz. “My Dad, Fred Scherz Sr., believed it was important to give back to his community, and he took pride in helping people,” said Scherz. “Last year, for the second time since I started awarding this scholarship, no student won because no students applied. As with past scholarships I awarded, I plan on self-funding this year’s scholarship in my Dad’s name and believe that if students get started in volunteering at a younger age, they’ll continue to do so once they’re out of school. I’m feel strongly that volunteerism is a great thing for any community!”
