We would like to introduce you to our summer interns from Pio-
neer High School. Sonya Morgan of Arcade and Russell Bunte
from Chaffee have each spent two days a week during their sum-
mer vacation helping out in the Chamber office.
Sonya will be a senior at Pioneer and is interested in becoming an
accountant and is part of the Finance Academy. Russell will be a
junior and is interested in owning his own business and enjoys
computer work.
They have both been a wonderful help with everything from data
research, filing, cleaning, organizing, and keeping us on our toes.
Thank you very much Sonya and Russell for spending the time
with us and we wish you both the best of luck as you begin school
next week.
August CA$H MOB —
Smiles Sundaes
Thursday, August 7th saw the CA$H MOB
head to Freedom to Smiles Sundaes for a
wonderfully successful evening filled with not
only “Smiles” and “Sundaes” but also laughs,
visits with friends (both old and new),
delicious ice cream combinations, that was
topped off by our gracious hosts Warren and
Denise Pirdy and their amazing staff.
Thank you to everyone that joined us and en-
joyed the tasty treats.
Stay tuned for our September CA$H MOB on
Thursday, September 11th.

The Pioneer Marching Band has been doing a Paper Drive for over 30 years. This Fundraiser,
which benefits the students in the marching band, is a great way for the students to earn money
for trips to Syracuse for State Finals, field trips, and band clothes. But, the paper drive is in
jeopardy of being cancelled. The marching band needs to bring in more paper.
In order to help maintain the success of the paper drive, The Marching Band is asking for any
support possible. The paper drive collects more than just news papers! Please see the listing
below. The paper drive is the first Saturday of every month. The Pioneer Marching Band would
be very grateful if you would help contribute by saving paper. Any questions please call Connie
Wilking- Bunte at 716-870-5601
