How You Can Help Town of Malta Small Businesses and Win
The Town of Malta has come up with a cool idea to help save their local small businesses. It s called the MaltaWorks $20.21 Campaign. Through a grant, they are hoping to give small businesses in their town a big boost by giving away gift certificates to their businesses to local residents.
Small businesses are the backbone of all of the towns and cities in the Capital Region and have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Town of Malta has created MaltaWorks which is aimed at Capital Region residents to spend at least $20.21 in participating stores, restaurants, other small businesses throughout the town. When you spend at least $20.21 and take a picture of your receipt to email to info@saratoga.org, you have a chance to win weekly gift certificates from a small business within the town. At the end of the campaign, you could win a $500 gift certificate.
Finally, we have some guidelines as to which events we can attend. The good news is we will be able to go to the Saratoga Race Course this summer. Although it won't be a full house, at least some spectators will be allowed to watch the horses run.
I can't tell you the last time I have been to a movie theatre. I know we are all itching to do some of the normal things like catching a blockbuster movie in an actual theater but there is one theater that, even if they were allowed to show movies, has taken down their signs.
