Independent Newton shops have gift-giving covered
Amazon vans are ubiquitous, but the online behemoth is not the only option for holiday shopping.
In fact, where you spend your hard-earned money can make a huge difference in your community.
“Spending even a small percentage of your holiday dollars strengthens our local economy (keeping 73 cents on the dollar right here in Newton) and forms a synergy which creates new jobs locally, generates economic growth within our community, inspires others to form new independent ventures, reduces our carbon footprint and enhances our community, generally,” said Devra G. Bailin, the city’s director of economic development.
Newton recently appointed three newly elected members to its Board of Directors:
Annie Greene, Eric Boecher and
Gloria
Greene, a
Newton native, joins the Board of Directors after 10 years of involvement at the Y s residential camp, Camp Frank A. Day. She attended Frank A. Day as a camper and then spent four years as a counselor. In 2018, she spoke about her camp experience at the Y s A Night Under the Stars fundraising gala. She is a graduate of St. Lawrence University and is currently working as a nanny while attending nursing school. She is the daughter of the late Frederick Greene, who served on the Y s Board of Directors and is remembered as a tireless community advocate.
Terms were not disclosed.
As part of the acquisition, former Brookstone CEO James Speltz, who has been LBH’s president since 2017, took on the role of CEO.
Darrell Ross, the son of Ross-Simons’ founder and a five-decade veteran of the company, has stepped down as LBH’s CEO but will remain a member of its board.
The acquisition “sets the stage for a whole new chapter of growth,” says Speltz. “Nonantum isn’t coming in with any particular agenda or strategy. They are supportive of management’s efforts to grow the business.”
Future plans include increasing Ross-Simons’ digital footprint throughout the United States and internationally.
