As the president of the Bellas Artes Business Council, I can report that we have committed ourselves to organizing the business community and improving the quality of life in the West End of New Rochelle. This year we are mentoring new business owners and, in collaboration with the City of New Rochelle, again sponsoring a clean up day for the west end. Our fundraising activities are funneled back into the community in donations to the Day Laborers site and an annual health fair. Our organization works closely with the New Rochelle Chamber of Commerce and meets monthly to discuss business techniques and exchange ideas.
