PBC BUSINESS OF THE MONTH
   
Rochester Lawn Care

(corner of Embury)   
Penfield

Scott Cialini, Owner and Operator of Rochester Lawn Care, delivered pizzas as a young man. He knew he didn't want to do that for the rest of his life, so he started to mow lawns while delivering pizzas. His lawn care business took off and he left the pizza business behind. In 1989, Rochester Lawn Care was born. In 2003, Scott bought the property where Rochester Lawn Care is currently located. Now in business for 27 years he employs approximately 20 people and has a fleet of 17 trucks and 15 propane run mowers.

Welcome to the Penfield Business Chamber!

After much legal, technical and financial wrangling, our name change and merger with the former Penfield Chamber of Commerce is finally complete! Thank you to all who supported this change to better serve the Penfield business community. It was a long process (much longer than we anticipated) and we owe a huge debt of gratitude to long time PBC Member Brett Dawson of Dawson Law Firm. Brett's expertise was exceptionally valuable in helping us make this change properly to ensure maximum benefit to our members for the long term. We can't thank you enough for your knowledge and experience Brett! If your business needs premier expert legal advice, go see Brett and his team at Dawson Law Firm.

COMMITTEE VOLUNTEERS WANTED 

Are you looking for a way to give back to your business community? Consider joining one of our committees to help with one of many aspects of running your local business chamber.

The work of the PBC is accomplished through the dedication and hard work of committees formed to manage different projects throughout the year. As with all volunteer organizations, our success depends largely on the willingness of our membership to participate on these committees and make things happen. If you would like to volunteer to work on a specific committee that could benefit from your time and skill-set, contact us and we will connect you with the Committee Chair.

Check out the list of currently active committees, to see how your experience and expertise would fit in, on our website.
