Village of Sodus, NY

The Sodus Chamber is partnering with Sodus Nursing Home to send some cheer to their residents with your help. We are starting this project of Hello Cards off with Valentines cards that you can either make or buy. The staff at Sodus Rehab will make sure the residents get your card that can be dropped off at the Sodus Library for delivery, or you can mail directly to Sodus Nursing Home, Attention Activities, 6884 Maple Ave, Sodus NY 14551. We’d like you to contin...ue sending Hello Cards every week or so, and again they may be mailed or dropped off at the library. The cards need not be bought and if you have Microsoft Word there are templates for all types of cards (plain paper will be fine and envelopes are not needed). You can even just fold plain paper into fourths and draw or paste on a picture. Just a few short sentences will mean the world to a resident who can’t have any visitors due to the Covid restrictions. If you would like to connect with just one resident let us know and we will pair you with help from Sodus Nursing Home. The Sodus School is also having the students participate with this project. If you belong to a group or organization that would like to do cards, that would be perfect since the more cards the better. The residents appreciate knowing someone is thinking of them, even if they don’t know you. What better and easier way to spread some cheer, bring a smile and say Hello. Yahoo Mail Stationery

Pursuant to Executive Order #203, related to police reform, the Village of Sodus is holding a virtual public forum this Saturday, December 5th, from 10 AM - 12 PM. This is your opportunity to hear a little about this process, but more importantly, to be heard. Tell the Mayor and the Police Reform and Reinvention Task Force members your thoughts and feelings about law enforcement within the Village of Sodus. Join us on Saturday by clicking on this link: https://us02web.zoom.us.../j/86293102215 And don't forget about the brief survey at https://www.villageofsodus.org/police-department

Unfortunately, a second Village employee has tested positive for the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. This employee was on vacation for the Thanksgiving holiday, and had no interactions with anyone in our community during the contagious phase of this disease. We wish this person a speedy recovery, and continue to encourage everyone to practice social distancing, hand washing, and mask wearing.

Come on by and drop off your old prescriptions. We now have a monitored, locked drop box located in front of the Village Clerks office inside the municipal building.

The Village of Sodus needs your help! Governor Cuomo's Executive Order #203 requires each municipality with law enforcement responsibilities to come together as a community to examine and talk about our police policies and practices. Our goal is to ensure that our laws are enforced fairly and equally without prejudice or bias. We are currently collecting data from the community to inform our work. Data is being collected in three ways:... 1. We will be holding two virtual public forums in early December. Dates, times, and meeting links will be posted here in the coming days. 2. A member of the Police Reform and Reinvention Task Force may reach out to you individually or in groups to gather your opinions. 3. A short survey is available on the Village web site. Please take a few moments to complete it. The survey can be found at https://www.villageofsodus.org/police-department. Let's work together to make our community even better! With Warm Regards, David Englert Mayor Village of Sodus

Our members are doing cool(ing) things! Our member organizations are doing *a lot* of work to accelerate climate solutions in our region.

Since then, their Climate Smart Community Task Force, led by Mayor David Englert, has replaced 168 village street light fixtures with LED bulbs (saving $25,000 annually); purchased green power for municipal energy; installed the first EV stations along the Route 104 corridor; and is working to establish its own solar electric generation for the village and its residents. #climatesolutionsaccelerators #villageofsodus https://sodusvillage.org/ See more

Pick up at the Firemen's Field.
