The band will welcome a special guest to the concert stage this Saturday, the Perinton Concert Band. Directed by Mark Kellogg, the band is a group of local musicians that has grown into one of the most highly regarded community bands in the Northeastern United States.
The Willink Middle School Student-Parent Band will perform Saturday, March 14 at 7 p.m. in the Willink Cafetorium, 900 Publishers Parkway. A $2 donation is suggested for admission. Tickets can be purchased from band members or at the door.

If you happened to watch one of the local TV newscasts on Friday night, or if you follow the City of Rochester social media feeds, you might have noticed a familiar face. At a press conference held Friday morning at City Hall, the Rochester St. Patrick’s Parade Committee officially introduced this year’s parade honorees, and Webster’s very own Bella’s Bumbas was one of them — pretty much front and center.
Bella’s Bumbas has been named Official Charitable Organization of this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade. I blogged about this honor a few weeks ago, when the Parade Committee held its first press conference at the Hilton Garden Inn. But watching our Webster friends accept their commemorative sash in the magnificent City Hall atrium, alongside the city’s top officials, turned a great announcement into a truly meaningful milestone.
Rebecca Orr, who co-founded the organization with her husband Marty Parzynski, was on hand to accept the honor, accompanied by volunteer Shelby Deane and her “Bumbaleer” daughter Lyla. In her remarks, Parade Committee Director Kate McBride explained why Bella’s Bumbas is so deserving of this recognition:
Bella’s Bulbas is a remarkable non-profit organization dedicated to empowering children with mobility challenges by providing them with the gift of movement and independence.
Through the design, assembly, and donation of custom-built, child-sized wheelchairs, Bella’s Bumbas ensures that every child, regardless of background or financial circumstance, can explore, play and connect with their world. Each wheelchair is lovingly constructed by passionate volunteers and given to families free of charge, asking only for shipping costs when necessary.

Since its founding ten years ago, Bellas Bumbas has provided 3,500 chairs to children in 70 different countries. That’s an incredible legacy for a grassroots organization that began as a small community effort in one small house.
Accepting the honor, Rebecca credited the organization’s success in large part to her dedicated team of volunteers, here in Rochester and worldwide. And when she was handed her tri-colored sash, she chose not to put it on. Instead, she draped it over Lyla in her wheelchair. “I had to put the sash on Lyla,” she explained, “because Bella’s Bumbas is not about us adults. It’s about the children, and their heroes, the parents who fight for them and advocate for them.”
And THAT selfless perspective is a good illustration of why Marty and Rebecca — and Bella’s Bumbas — deserve this amazing honor.
As the Official Charitable Organization honoree, Bella’s Bumbas will get prime placement near the very beginning of the parade line-up. They’ve been working hard crafting a pretty spectacular float, which will feature several Bumba chairs with “bumbaleers” riding them, hay bales, gold frills and lots of lights. Adult volunteer walkers and some young “test riders” will be rolling beside the float to hand out information and goodies to the crowd. It may very well be the first float in the parade, so it will be difficult to miss. (Check out the photos below for a sneak peek.)
So when you see them, raise a rousing cheer for Bella’s Bumbas, our Webster neighbors, who are changing children’s lives.
The 2026 Tops St. Patrick’s Day Parade is scheduled for Saturday, March 14, beginning at 12:30 p.m. at East Ave. and Alexander St.

At their regular Webster Town Board meeting on Thursday evening March 5, Supervisor Alex Scialdone and Deputy Supervisor Nick Hunter presented a proclamation recognizing March as Women’s History Month.
The supervisor had invited representatives from the Women’s Club of Webster (WCW) to receive it, in recognition of the club’s long history and commitment to the Webster community. I was honored to be able to attend the presentation as the club’s First Vice-President, and was grateful to be joined by WCW President Diana Holzwasser.
As is standard with these proclamations, there were a lot of “Whereas”es and one “Therefore Be It Resolved.” But whoever wrote it did a nice job of highlighting the contributions women have made in building our nation and the struggles we’ve overcome to earn respect and make our mark in society.
This was the first time the Town Board has officially acknowledged Women’s History Month in the Town of Webster. (Click here to see the Town of Webster’s announcement on their Facebook page.)
Thank you, gentlemen, for taking the time and making the effort to prepare and present this proclamation. Diana and I were proud to represent the Women’s Club and receive it in the name of all women everywhere who have worked so hard to make our community as strong as it is.
(Pictured above: L-R: Trustee Nick Hunter, Supervisor Alex Scialdone, me, Diana Holzwasser)

For me, the surest sign of spring is when my driveway is once again full of artistic chalk drawings.
Well, “artistic” might be a bit of a stretch. After all, we are talking about “art” created by preschoolers, who — whenever the weather allows — come by my house and enjoy the simple pleasure of scribbling with chalk. Everywhere.
Every day, just before lunch, my friend Laura rolls by with some little friends, for whom she provides daycare. Some days there may be only four of them, other days more like six or eight. At least two, often three or four, are tucked into a stroller, while the rest toddle alongside. My house is a regular stop on their daily walks, and the kids have come to expect a box of chalk waiting for them when they arrive.
But this winter has been long and snowy and cold, and the messy sidewalks not fit for strollers. I hadn’t seen the daycare caravan for what seemed like forever. But then, on Wednesday, when it was sunny and the temperature his 50 degrees, I got a text: “We’re heading out for a walk. Will you be home?”
I assured Laura that I would, made a cup of coffee and sat out on my porch to watch for them. Sue enough, about twenty minutes later, I saw the advance guard running down the sidewalk towards my house as furiously as their little legs could take them. My knees enjoyed several hugs.
You see the result of their visit. It’s all rather Neo-Expressionistic, but if you look closely, you’ll see moons and flowers and rainbows and some kind of bird. I think.
Next week’s weather is supposed to be spring-like, so I look forward to getting more knee-hugs and my driveway being messed up several more times in the coming days. It just makes my heart happy.

When the students of Webster Thomas High School take the stage with their production of Footloose, you’re gonna have a hard time keeping still in your seat.
Here’s how I know: I attended a dress rehearsal last Sunday afternoon, and was still standing in the auditorium aisle when the young Thomas actors burst onstage with their first song: “Footloose.” And I started dancing. Right there in the aisle. I just couldn’t resist. The music — and the singing — are that good.
And the show just got better from there. That first song was representative of the talent that you’ll see this weekend as Webster Thomas High School presents Footloose, Thursday through Saturday March 5 through 7.
You surely remember the 1984 Oscar-nominated movie musical starring Kevin Bacon. The story follows Ren McCormack, a city teenager who moves from Chicago to small-town Bomont, where rock music and dancing have been outlawed by the local government and the influential Rev. Shaw Moore. Determined to bring life back to the community, Ren teams up with the Reverend’s rebellious daughter, Ariel, and his best friend Willard, to challenge the law and organize a school dance.
And we all know the music (the title song is probably running through your head right now). The production revisits iconic 1980s songs from the Tony-nominated top-40 score, including “Holding Out for a Hero,” “Let’s Hear It for the Boy,” and of course “Footloose,” guaranteeing a high-energy, high-stepping good time.
Led by Artistic Director Benjamin Rabinowitz and Music Director/Producer Kyle Sackett, the production features a talented cast, crew, and pit of nearly 100 Webster Thomas students. There’s some salty language, so you probably don’t want to bring your young children. But parents, if you need an inexpensive night out and want to revisit a classic, you will NOT be disappointed by Webster Thomas’ Footloose.
Shows will be held at Webster Thomas High School, 800 Five Mile Line Rd. Show times are:
Thursday March 5, 7 p.m.
Friday March 6, 7 p.m.
Saturday March 7, 1 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Tickets are $15 and can be purchased online here. If you’d like to see more photos from the rehearsal, click here to access my gallery.

Here’s some information about The Outsiders:
Whether it’s Tulsa, Oklahoma in the 1960s or Webster, NY in 2026, there has been and always will be “outsiders”– outcasts, underdogs, and those who are just simply misunderstood. Based on the book by S.E. Hinton, The Outsiders brings the timeless and beloved 1967 classic novel of the same name to life. Ponyboy Curtis and the rest of his Greaser gang are trying to survive the hardships of growing up, all while attempting to de-escalate tensions with rival gang, The Socs. This coming-of-age tale tackles violence, heartbreak, and tragedy as both Greasers and Socs learn that nothing gold can stay.
Nothing new here, folks

Funds raised will help WSPS continue to expand their service programs.

HUGE congratulations to Julianne Groff, who was recently named Webster Chamber of Commerce 2026 Business Person of the Year.
As Executive Director of the Webster Comfort Care Home, Julianne is very well known and well respected in the Webster community. In presenting the award, incoming Chamber president Carolyn Montanaro noted that that’s a responsibility “she does not take lightly.”
(Julianne) personally supports and guides a dedicated team of staff and more than 100 volunteers, ensuring they are mentally, emotionally, and physically prepared to care for individuals at the end of life and to care for their families. Her leadership extends far beyond traditional business hours. For Julianne, this is not simply a profession, it is a calling to which she devotes her heart and the majority of her waking hours.
In addition to being a very active member of the Webster Chamber of Commerce, Julianne shares her time, treasure and talent with numerous local nonprofit organizations, including the Webster Health and Education Network, Soul Sisters, Free Mom Hugs, the Greater Rochester Area Partnership for the Elderly, and the Women’s Club of Webster. She regularly supports the Phillips Village Food Pantry and coordinates donations with ROC Maiden and InterVol. She has also recently begun advocacy efforts for individuals living with Long Haul COVID, an “invisible” autoimmune condition.
In accepting the award, Julianne said,
If I’m being recognized today, it’s really because of the extraordinary groups of people that are committed to ensuring that our home stays open. Every donation, every fundraiser ticket purchased, every shared post. Every prayer that sustains us. And this community for the past 23 years has shown your commitment. … How lucky we are that we belong to a community of people who believe that every human life has value.
Julianne was presented with a plaque inscribed: “2026 Business Person of the Year presented by the Webster Chamber of Commerce to Julianne Groff in recognition of your outstanding contributions to the Webster Chamber of Commerce and your commitment to the community.” The Chamber will also contribute to a charitable organization of Julianne’s choosing.
Julianne’s husband Tom, daughter Abby and WCCH’s Program Coordinator Lisa Swift, were all on hand to help celebrate Julianne’s honor.
Later in her remarks, Julianne humbly downplayed her role by saying, ‘I keep the lights on.’ Those of us who know her, however, know that she does so much more, not just for the Webster Comfort Care Home but for the entire Webster community. This award is very much deserved.

Representatives from Bella’s Bumbas were special guests Friday night at Barry’s Old School Irish in Fairport, where Danny Barry invited everyone in the pub (and there were a LOT of people) to raise a glass to this amazing non-profit organization.
At last year’s Barry’s Irish Festival, Bella’s Bumbas volunteers helped in several capacities, and hosted an informational table to spread the word about the organization. As a thank-you, and in recognition of everything Bella’s Bumbas does for children around the world, Danny and Jessica Barry offered to share with them a portion of the weekend’s raffle earnings.
Friday night, Marty Parzynski and Rebecca Orr — the founders of Bella’s Bumbas — accepted a $1,500 check from Danny. They were surrounded by perhaps a dozen volunteers, who are the real backbone of the organization, who came to show their support. Following the check presentation, Danny even passed a hat (actually a huge ceramic Guinness glass) and the generous patrons filling the pub that evening added more than $700 to the total.
Long-time Bella’s Bumbas volunteer Joe Callan spoke briefly, introducing the organization to those pub patrons who’d never heard about it before, saying,
We build these tiny wheelchairs for kids that are born with different anomalies, one of which is spina bifida. We also make chairs for 70 other anomalies. Anything to do with mobility for children below the age of five. We supply them a chair at no cost. … We’ve made in the last nine years about 3,800 chairs. And on top of that, we’ve sent these chairs to 70 countries. So 70 countries, 70 anomalies in nine years. That’s pretty remarkable.
Clearly, Bella’s Bumbas has already touched countless lives worldwide, but they aren’t slowing down. They’re always looking for more and better ways to serve the children who need them most. The infusion of funds they received from Danny Barry Friday night and from the generous pub patrons, will be helping them do that.
Specifically, Rebecca said, “We’ve been working on a factory prototype chair geared toward hospitals and schools, and we are about ready for second-state trials. We need some safety straps and seat covers (our own designs) and these funds are greatly appreciated to help us move forward to a new level.”
You may recall also that Bella’s Bumbas has been chosen the Official Charitable Organization honoree for the 2026 St. Patrick’s Day Parade. So they’ll be marching in this year’s parade, scheduled for Saturday March 14, very near the front of the parade. They’re working hard on their float, on which a few of their “Bumbaleers” will be riding. Stay tuned for a sneak-peek of the float in the next week or so.

If you’re a big fan of Girl Scout cookies like I am, you know that the cookies have arrived and the troops are hard at work delivering them. But if you missed out on ordering this year, or you REALLY need more Thin Mints to toss in the freezer, have no fear. I know of at least one troop which will be selling them at local businesses in the coming weeks.
Webster Girl Scout Troop 60344 will have a table set up in these locations on these dates:
Saturday, Feb. 28: Lowe’s Home Improvement, 900 Five Mile Line Rd., 1 to 4 p.m.
Friday, March 13: Walmart, 5 to 8 p.m.
Saturday, March 21: Walmart, 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
They’ll not only be selling cookies to all of us, they’ll also be accepting orders for cookies which will be included in care packages being put together by the Blue Star Mothers for our locally deployed troops, which will be mailed out in June.
Service members love Girl Scout cookies, as you can imagine. They’re a small taste of home. And even after they’ve been bounced around the world and even if they arrive in crumbs, they’re still treasured. So plan to stop by one of these tables this month, pick up some extra cookies for yourself, and help spread smiles around the world.
You can also purchase cookies online to be included in the care packages. Click here to get to the website, and make sure to indicate “Have Girl Scout Troop 60344 deliver the cookies” so you don’t pay for shipping. And please add the word “Care” before their name (like, Care Missy Rosenberry). This will let the troop know the cookies will be donated to our service members. (Best to stay away from chocolate cookies since they might melt in transit!)
