Chamber Chatter for the Week of May 21, 2014
May 21, 2014: The outdoor Bronxville Farmers' Market opened on Saturday, May 10. Stone Place at Paxton Avenue, 8:30 am to 1:00 pm every Saturday through November 22. Rain or shine!
Coming up soon: The annual Bronxville Spring Sidewalk Sale! Friday, June 6, and Saturday, June 7! Bargains galore, plus a fun street fair on Saturday along Park Place. Stay tuned for details!
Pure Bliss . . .
The Chamber is very pleased to welcome to the village several exciting new enterprises: Pure Barre--a fitness facility that utilizes ballet-barre technique; Pure Mountain Olive Oil--a retail operation that specializes in, of course, olive oil and vinegar; and Pure SoulCycle—oops, just kidding . . . too bad only two of three start with "Pure"! SoulCycle offers revved up fitness with spinning classes.
Pure Barre will open on Cedar Street in June . . . Pure Mountain Olive Oil will be on Kraft Avenue imminently . . . and SoulCycle will be on Kraft Avenue (in the former André's Hardware spot) starting early June.
Stay tuned for more on all three of these businesses! We're thrilled to have them!
Chamber Business
The Chamber wishes to thank the Village of Bronxville for its continued support of the Bronxville Chamber of Commerce. This year, the village agreed to increase the grant to the Chamber from $6,500 to $11,500 for recognition of the Chamber's value to the community.
The Chamber's other funding comes entirely from our member businesses--the same operations we seek to support.
Every bit helps!
May Is . . .
May is Better Hearing Month, and Bronxville Hearing Center is offering a special in honor of the occasion: Receive a free pair of Etymotic musicians' filtered earplugs (normally $18) when you mention this exclusive offer from the Chamber newsletter! These are great for concerts because they reduce the volume without reducing the sound quality.

Director's Cut
My mother-in-law loved her Mother's Day dinner at BURRATA Wood-Fired Pizza! In fact, so did everyone in our party! We ordered family-style so we could taste everything.
