Do you have a Birthday Special that you would like to offer to CNY residents? The you need to know about Owl Birthdays! Nick Sessions was working for a cell phone company when customers would ask him for birthday specials, like half off their cell phone bills. This gave Nick an idea. All these businesses offering birthday specials had a great response from it, but it cost too much for small local businesses to promote it. The only companies at that time offering birthday specials were the large franchises and corporations. Small businesses didn’t have any way to offer birthday specials that would not cost them a fortune, UNTIL NOW! This is when Nick came up with Owl Birthdays, a FREE Birthday Coupon website for the small businesses to offer birthday specials to current and potential customers as a way to drive traffic and increase business. If you have a Birthday Special that you would like to offer, then give Nick a call at 315-886-4188.

Erin’s Angels is a school food pantry in Phoenix, NY. Sheila Dion started Erin’s Angles in 2017 after experiencing firsthand food insecurity in her district. “I was a teacher’s aide children would ask me for extra food to put in their backpacks after the bell rang at lunch. When I asked the school’s social worker what was going on she said, “we really need a weekend backpack program here in Phoenix, we are the only district in Oswego County without one”. This really surprised me because just a few years prior, a little girl that went to the elementary school passed away, and one of the things she suffered from was hunger. She was hungry. A little girl. Innocent and hungry. How could I ignore that this was still happening years later? That is when I decided to start a weekend backpack program named after her. Erin’s Angels feeds nearly 100 kids every weekend throughout the school year. We are also partnered with “Rise above Poverty” to provide snacks for their reading program for Syracuse 3rd graders”. We appreciate every single donation, whether it’s a food donation or a monetary donation. However, we can take the monetary donations and stretch your dollar even further because we purchase food in bulk at the Food Bank of CNY. For more information, please visit www.erinsangels.com.

“Back in February 2010, I used to work as a housekeeper at a local inn. A big Valentine’s Day dance was being planned, and one of the managers asked if I would be interested in drawing caricatures at the party. They had seen my doodles around and thought I might have a knack for it. At that time, I had never drawn a caricature before in all my life, so I was nervous to say the least. Regardless, I decided to give it a shot anyway. That night ended up being a success and gave me the confidence I needed to pursue drawing caricatures at other events! Since then, I’ve drawn at numerous farmer’s markets, birthday parties, family reunions and even some weddings! Every event brings new faces, new smiles, and new stories to encounter. It makes me happy when people walk away happy, holding one of my caricatures. I hope sometime soon I can be a part of your event and make you and your guests happy as well” Available for weddings, anniversaries, business meetings, corporate events, graduation parties, family reunions and more!
