On Thursday, April 3, the Lewiston Service Guild will celebrate its
70th anniversary with a special dinner meeting at the Niagara Frontier
Country Club. Current and past members are welcome to attend.
The organization was founded in 1938. Its purpose was to provide service-oriented
women with a way to give back. Initially, that meant raising money for
the Lewiston Free Library.
Today, the Lewiston Service Guild, 75 members strong, raises money for
a plethora of groups, including Relay For Life, Rivershore, Opportunities
Unlimited, Gliding Stars, the SPCA, all local fire companies and the
library.
Money is raised through raffles, dues and at special events like the
goldfish booth at the Lewiston Kiwanis Peach Festival.
President Claire Gee said the Service Guild is looking for new members
– young women in particular – to join the organization. Meetings are
held on the first Thursday of every month, each time at a different local
restaurant.
For more information, Gee can be reached at 754-4138.
Water Street Landing names ‘Boss of the Sauce’
Village of Lewiston Trustee Mike Marra, left, and Sentinel staffer Joshua Maloni
served
as
judge of the “Boss of the Sauce” competition Sunday at Water Street
Landing.
Yours truly was honored to serve as one of four judges Sunday at Water
Street Landing’s “Boss of the Sauce” competition. Joe Sorce and Village
of Lewiston trustees Mike Marra and Ron Winkley joined me in my culinary
quest.
Our task was simple (and delicious): find the sassiest
sauce. Nine entrants offered crock-pots filled with sweet and tangy red
liquids. Most featured
traditional spaghetti accoutrements like meat and eggplant. A few were
just sauce, plain and simple.

Yolevsky, pose with Water Street’s Cliff Lang (right).
In truth, none of the sauces were bad. One, however, stood out as the
most flavorful. Congratulations to Jonathan Boas and Cathy Yolevsky of
the Little Yellow Chocolate House. Their chili reigned supreme. As the
winners, they took home a $75 Water Street Landing gift certificate.
Second place went to the Urban family, while the Village Bake Shoppe
finished third.
