Every year in observance of Arbor Day, the Town of Greece plants a tree to both honor a member of the community and to promote the importance of trees for our environment. The Town of Greece has been named a Tree City USA every year since 1998 by continued commitment from Supervisor Bill Reilich, the Greece Town Board, and the dedicated members of our Tree Council.
This year, the Town of Greece is recognizing Arbor Day on May 24th. This morning, Greece Town Supervisor Bill Reilich was joined by Greece Town Board Members Bill Murphy and Mike Bloomer for the Annual Town of Greece Arbor Day Memorial Tree Planting Ceremony. This year’s tree was planted in memory of David Proud.
The tree planted in honor of Arbor Day this year was the Ivory Silk Japanese Lilac. This tree features dark green foliage throughout the season and produces white blossoms in early summer. The tree is located along the Greece Town Campus Walking track on the North end of campus with a monument placed at the base of the tree.
“Today, we were proud to honor and remember David Proud” said Supervisor Bill Reilich. “David G. Proud was born on August 3rd, 1936. He passed away on March 15th, 2019. He was a resident of the Town of Greece for more than 50 years. He was a kind soul, always willing to lend a hand. He was known as being true to himself, his beliefs, and those he served. David was an active member of his community, including serving in the Monroe County Legislature representing the 5th district in the Town of Greece from 1988 until 2001. He is greatly missed”.
Please note that the Town of Greece Meeting of the Greece Town Board scheduled for Thursday, June 16th at 6:00pm has been rescheduled to Thursday, June 23rd at 6:00pm. The meeting will be held at Greece Town Hall, 1 Vince Tofany Boulevard, in the Eastman Room.
Supervisor Bill Reilich, along with Town of Greece Receiver of Taxes Andrew Conlon and Greece Town Council Members Bill Murphy, Mike Bloomer, and Diana Christodaro hosted a free Shredding Event for resident’s Wednesday afternoon.
The Shredding Event was held at the Greece Town Hall Campus. Services were provided by Shred-Text, which is a confidential document shredding company that provides on-site shredding services. Shred-Text is also an environmentally-friendly company, as they bring 100% of the shredded paper to an authorized recycler.
“The Greece Town Council Members, Receiver of Taxes Andrew Conlon, and I were happy to host our Free Spring Shredding Event for Greece residents this year” said Supervisor Reilich. “Those who attended were able to have their confidential documents be shredded on site. It can be very expensive to have a shredding service come to a resident home, so I was glad to be able to provide this service for our residents free of charge. As always, we will hold another shredding event in the evening hours in the fall season”.
In honor of the victims of the horrific shooting at Tops Supermarket in Buffalo, NY over the weekend, we will be flying the flags at half-staff. We remember the 10 people who were killed and the 3 others injured. Our deepest sympathies are with their family, friends, and surrounding community.

The past several months have been packed with activities, events, services, and community projects as our community celebrates the Town of Greece’s 200th Year Anniversary. With the warmer temperatures on the way we have many more events planned, and I guess you could say, well, we are just getting started. March 22nd of this year marked the two-hundred-year anniversary of the Town of Greece and we have been announcing many milestone events and celebrations ever since.
This July 4th the town of Greece is poised to host our biggest July 4th event yet as we come together to jointly celebrate our 200th birthday as well.
Our crowds have grown steadily each and every year since we brought this celebration to town in 2014. We have attendance numbers that top out (on campus only) at over 10,000 people – families that join together with their neighbors to celebrate all that makes this Country so great.
And now for the big announcement…
We are thrilled to announce that Three Dog Night will be performing on the main stage.
Three Dog Night is a renowned American Rock Band formed in 1967. Now in their 5th decade, they claim some of the most astonishing statistics in popular music. They scored a succession of 21 hit singles, including eleven Top Ten, and twelve consecutive gold albums from 1969-1975.
The Three Dog Night concert is the frosting on top of the cake of a day already filled with fun and family-friendly activities. The Town of Greece Old Fashioned 4th of July Celebration will also feature a Freedom Run 5k, Kids Fun Run, games, food trucks and much more to come! Keep tuned for details and plan to join us for this combined celebration culminating in a grand Fireworks Display, bigger and bolder than ever before.
