Greater Valley Salvation Army staff, supporters celebrate pantry reopening

Salvation Army Capt. Cheryl McCollum, left, poses at the grand reopening with Sheila Uberia, social service caseworker at the pantry.

ANSONIA - I attended a wonderful community celebration last week - the grand reopening of the newly remodeled pantry at the Greater Valley Salvation Army.

The Corps' headquarters is located at 26 Lester St. As an Advisory Board member I'm pleased to say I've witnessed many improvements made there over the years, most recently the remodeled pantry.

Capt. Cheryl McCollum deserves plaudits for her dedication to turning dreams into reality! 

In a brief program in the sanctuary prior to the ribbon cutting, she described the pantry makeover including "a fresh coat of paint which does wonders," new freezers, shelving, and seating. McCollum said the client choice pantry offers a more dignified experience for those who receive food assistance. She said $8,000 went into the project and expressed gratitude for the needed upgrades. 

Mayor David S. Cassetti reminded attendees that it's "very, very important that we take care of the vulnerable."

The event also included the 'Kettle Kickoff' for the upcoming holiday season. 

McCollum said before a ribbon cutting that volunteers are needed this holiday season to ring the bells at kettles that will be located outside stores throughout the Valley.

To volunteer to help with bell ringing call 203-736-0707.

Banko's Music in Ansonia invites community to grand re-opening

ANSONIA - Banko's Music invites the community to an official ribbon cutting ceremony Thursday from 5-7 p.m. (with an official cutting at 5:30 p.m.) and also to its Grand Re-Opening Celebration Saturday from noon-5 p.m.

The Saturday Grand Re-Opening Celebration will have a free all-day cookout with non-alcoholic refreshments served, free giveaways, and live music.

Banko's Music has been in continued operation and at the same location for over 60 years. 

The original owner, Frank Banko, opened the store in 1955. It was then passed on to Joe and Sherry Salvati in 2001. 

Now the legacy of Banko's has been handed over to new owner Joe Shapiro.

He said, "As a loyal customer of the store for many years, I jumped at the opportunity to buy Banko's when I heard the previous owners were selling. I am grateful Joe and Sherry Salvati have agreed to stay on with us as employees. Going forward, I foresee Banko's Music reclaiming its past and rightful place as the center of the musical community in the Valley and beyond."

Banko's has recently been restored, renovated, and expanded. 

Banko's is committed to serving the musical needs of the Greater Valley area and beyond while providing a community-oriented environment.
