$25 on the 25th campaign in Lynbrook

Mayor Brian Curran and the Village Board of Trustees urge residents of Lynbrook to participate in an upcoming promotional event on Sept. 25 called “$25 on the 25th” to support Main Street business across New York State during this stubborn economic downturn.

“The “$25 on the 25th” campaign is being jointly sponsored by The New York State Conference of Mayors, the New York Press Association, and the New York State Economic Development Council” said Trustee Hilary Becker.

The “$25 on the 25th” campaign will give New Yorkers a concrete way to support struggling local merchants,” according to Trustee Mike Hawxhurst. “It will encourage New Yorkers to shop locally this September 25, spending at least $25 at a local store or stores.”

“This will be a day to support and celebrate Main Street businesses that give Lynbrook so much of its charm and warmth,” said Curran. “ I am proud to join mayors across New York in helping make “$25 on the 25th” a tremendous success.”  

The New York Press Association (NYPA) has created print advertisements for the campaign, which will run in community newspapers around the state. It also has designed banners and logos for store windows to encourage as many local businesses as possible to create special shopping incentives for the day.

“New York’s independent businesses are the heart and soul of this state, and the New York newspaper industry is doing everything it can to stand behind our small businesses,” said Michelle Rea, NYPA’s executive director. 

“Twenty-five dollars may not seem like a lot to spend, but it can make a real difference for a Main Street merchant,” said Trustee Alan Beach.
