Watertown, NY. Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell is hosting an open house at
her Canton office on Saturday December
1st, from 11am to 3pm. The
purpose is to celebrate the completion of the downtown construction, and
encourage people to come back to the downtown.
“Small business is the backbone of our economy. These businesses in Canton
have endured a tough period during the extensive construction,” said Russell. “Now that it is complete for the season, I
want to use this Open House as a way to let everyone know – we are all still
here – and welcome the community back to our offices and the businesses.”
Assemblywoman Russell is also encouraging people to bring in
book donations to the Open House for her annual ‘Addie’s Books for Children’
book drive. Last year the drive
collected over 4000 books that were given to needy children throughout St.
Lawrence and Jefferson Counties. Books are also being collected at local
Kinney Drug Stores.
