Dennis Goss from Sweet-Woods Memorial Company in Phoenix, NY presents Linda Eagan with a check in support of the Fulton Block Builders.
FULTON, NY – Fulton Block Builders has been receiving strong support from within the Fulton city limits but for the second year in a row, business support has come from outside of the city with a donation from Sweet-Woods Memorial Co. in Phoenix.
Dennis Goss, owner/operator of Sweet-Woods Memorial Co. in Phoenix is shown here presenting Linda Eagan with a check for the Fulton Block Builder project.
“I am honored to support the Block Builder program. The work that this group has been able to accomplish is outstanding! I believe the potential for year two will far exceed the work that was done in the inaugural year. The city is lucky to have such a dedicated group of people volunteering for this program. I encourage businesses and individuals to learn all they can and support this momentum!” said Goss.
“Dennis is a strong advocate for the city and residents in Fulton. As a Rotarian he can be seen volunteering in Fulton Youth Soccer, Fulton YMCA, OCO Bowl-A-Thon, ARC of Oswego County, Fulton Public Library, Catholic Charities, Salvation Army, Fulton Polish Home, Fulton American Legion, Literacy Volunteers, the Salvation Army and filling Blizzard Bags for shut-ins throughout Oswego County. Dennis is an excellent example of community activism, we can’t thank him enough for this support.” Eagan said.
The Pre-Application deadline is March 16, 2018. It is very important for blocks to get organized and gather signatures from their neighbors.
This first step does not commit a homeowner – it simply states that they want to learn more.
Block Builder Ambassadors will meet with each block that submits a pre-application to explain the fine details of the program.
It is after that meeting that homeowners will decide if they want to submit a final application to be considered for a Block Challenge Award.
Eagan did stress, however, that without the Pre-Application being submitted a block cannot submit a Final Application, so don’t let March 16th slip by.
