Bike Helmet Fundraiser
Potsdam Chamber of Commerce and St. Lawrence Health Initiative have done some work on the issue of roadway safety in our community. As part of that work, we would like to secure funds to purchase youth bicycle helmets to give to children during the Back to School Fair held on Saturday, August 24th in Potsdam.
Every gift of $30 will purchase a helmet we can give to a child that day along with information about bike safety. We will need to collect funds by July 30th.
If you can contribute any amount towards this effort, please send a check with “bike helmet” written in the memo line to:
The Health Initiative
PO Box 5069
Potsdam, NY 13676
We thank you for any help with this effort. If you have any questions, please contact rrivezzi@gmail.com or 315-265-8117.

Hometown Cafe – Business of the Year 2019
The Potsdam Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce its selection for Business of the Year for 2019- the Hometown Café.
Located in the heart of the Village of Norwood, Town of Potsdam, the Hometown café is much more than a friendly and welcoming small-town diner where you are always treated like family. According to the two submitted nominations, owners Sue and John Fregoe work relentlessly to better the community. They were instrumental in fundraising for all-inclusive playground equipment for the Norwood Village Park and at the Norwood Beach.
In addition to creating opportunities for local youth, the Hometown Café plays an active role in community events such as the 4th of July parade, the children’s day in the park, Norwood Village Green Concert Series and the Norwood Christmas Festival. In a partnership with the local police department, they offer free ice cream to citizens who are “caught” doing good. Sue and John are also active members of the Norwood Kiwanis Club and volunteer for the Special Olympics.
One nominee stated “The Hometown, owners Sue and John Fregoe, along with their employees are the heart of the Village of Norwood. They provide great customer service and good food at a great price. They treat their staff like family. Their whole family works hard to help any way they can.”
