Members of the Jack Beatty Hospice Memorial Regatta committee recently presented Niagara Hospice with the proceeds from the Niagara River Boat Cruise and Clambake. The annual event, dedicated in memory of Jack Beatty, is held each August at the Youngstown Yacht Club. Over the past nine years, it has become the largest independent fundraiser for Niagara Hospice, raising more than $180,000.
"We are fortunate to have the Beatty family and their many friends on our team," said Niagara Hospice president and CEO John Lomeo. "Each year they hold this event, they somehow make it better than the previous year. Their dedication and advocacy for hospice care in our community is a wonderful tribute to Jack's memory."
This year, hundreds of guests enjoyed great music by Soul Committee, a delicious barbecue dinner and steamed clams. As always, there was a smorgasbord of silent auction gifts and basket items for guests to win. Major sponsors of this year's event included Jerry and Kim Williams of Lewiston, the Youngstown Yacht Club, Sevenson Environmental Services/the Elia family, the Seneca Niagara Casino, the Joy Family Foundation and West Marine.

The Youngstown Garden Club has been recognized by the National Garden Clubs Inc. as its Overall Winner of Award No. 51 – Decoration of Historic Building, for the club's annual holiday decoration of the French Castle at Old Fort Niagara.
For the past 30 years, the Youngstown Garden Club has been involved in decorating nine of the historic site's rooms for the fort's annual open house and candlelight tours. Now under way, the "Colonial Christmas by Candlelight" tours continue from 7 to 8:30 p.m. today, and next Friday and Saturday.
Later, these decorations are used for the Twelfth Night Ball fundraiser.
The club takes at least two six-hour days, sometimes in finger-numbing cold, to complete the project. And many more hours are spent planning, gathering, wreath making and painting materials. Club President Susan Loughran estimated that about 22 members worked 146 hours on last year's project.
