I want to thank the Herald-Outlook for mentioning Wallingford-Saves in your recent article about the Sustainable Seattle meeting ("Back to the Planning Board," Wednesday, April 4). However, I do have to correct a few details.
WallingfordSaves is an independent co-operative currently composed entirely of small owner-operated businesses in Wallingford. It is not part of the Wallingford chamber, as implied by the article and is funded by Not A Number Cards & Gifts and other participating members as a way of encouraging local shopping and fostering a larger sense of community in Wallingford.
I also need to point out that the woman who spoke about Wallingford at the event was my wife, Kara Ceriello, co-president of the Wallingford Chamber of Commerce and not Karen Buschow as stated in the article.
The Herald-Outlook published an article on WallingfordSaves about six months ago, when it had only 16 participants. We now have over 30 participants and would love to be featured in another article!
More information about the program and all the participants can be found at WallingfordSaves.com.
