Chamber Chatter for the Week of February 5, 2014
Feb. 5, 2014: Soon it will be too late to support your Bronxville businesses in their quest to earn the coveted "Best of Westchester" title from Westchester magazine.
Don't underestimate how you can directly benefit from their success! As Bronxville businesses gain greater recognition, they attract new clientele; as new buyers come to Bronxville, additional "foot traffic" is generated--meaning, while they're in BXV to patronize ABC Business, they end up also patronizing XYZ business. Next thing you know, they're telling their friends . . . they're coming back . . . and all BXV businesses thrive. As the business district thrives, property values go up, taxes go down, new businesses want to claim those vacant storefronts . . . It's a win-win! Don't delay!

Weathering the Weather
Provisions for Pets carries "Walk Safe" ice melt. It is safe for your pets, your lawn, shrubs and vegetation, and your walkway. Be careful of the many other ice melts that claim they are safer than salt. Many are made with magnesium sulfate, which can be toxic to your pets if ingested (paw licking). Magnesium toxicity results when the body absorbs more magnesium than it can excrete. Symptoms include fall in blood pressure, confusion, abnormal cardiac rhythm, and deterioration of kidney function. 110 Kraft Ave.
