FRITZ SCHERZ TO RUN AGAIN FOR RE-ELECTION TO VERONA TOWN BOARD!

Councilman Fred “Fritz” Scherz, Jr. from Verona, NY, announces today he is officially running again for re-election to the Verona Town Board in this year’s upcoming election.  Fritz has earned endorsements from the Conservative and Republican parties. 

“I want to thank the political parties that endorsed me, the volunteers that carried my designating petitions for me, and all the people that signed my designating petitions, helping me get on the ballot again,” said Scherz.  “Regarding my candidacy for re-election again, since I got elected to the town board, I’ve tried to work smart for residents of our town. I feel I have the work record to prove I’ve kept these folks in mind while serving as councilman.  I know there is more work to be done and I embrace the opportunity to do so. I believe my 25+ years of work experience in government, work ethic, sense of community, determination and willingness to continue working with members of various political parties makes me an ideal candidate for re-election as councilman on the Verona Town Board. I’m hopeful residents of the Town of Verona will give me the opportunity again to continue serving them, as I would be honored to do so.” 

Since being elected to the Verona Town Board, Scherz has created the Fred Scherz Sr. Memorial Scholarship for Volunteer Community Service and awarded over $2,500 in scholarships to graduating 12^th grade students from the Town of Verona. He has also hosted 10 holiday parties for town residents and nine “thank you” dinners for town Veterans. In 2013, Scherz was one of eight honorees to win a Follow the Leader Award from Leadership Mohawk Valley. Additionally, Scherz has previously served as President of the Oneida County Association of Towns. In 2014, Scherz was inducted into the Vernon Verona Sherrill High School Wall of Fame.

COUNCILMAN FRITZ SCHERZ ANNOUNCES 12th ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIP FOR VOLUNTEER COMMUNITY SERVICE!

          Fred “Fritz” Scherz, Jr., Councilman on the Verona Town Board in Verona, NY, has again created the Fred Scherz Sr. Memorial Scholarship for Volunteer Community Service.  The 12^th annual scholarship will be in the amount of $250 and will be awarded by Fritz to a Town of Verona, New York student who is on track to graduate from 12^th grade at a high school (public or private) or home school by June 30, 2021.  Additionally, the student must have lived in the Town of Verona, New York since at least December 1, 2020, and must be voluntarily engaged in community service or must have created a community project that benefits the Town of Verona. 

            “It’s hard to believe it’s been 12 years since I did the inaugural scholarship back in the spring of 2010 as a way to honor my Dad’s memory,” said Scherz.  “My Dad, Fred Scherz Sr., believed it was important to give back to his community, and he took pride in helping people,” said Scherz.  “Last year, Zachary Thompson won the 10^th Annual Fred Scherz Sr. Memorial Scholarship for Volunteer Community Service. As with past scholarships I awarded, I plan on self-funding this year’s scholarship in my Dad’s name and believe that if students get started in volunteering at a younger age, they’ll continue to do so once they’re out of school. I’m feel strongly that volunteerism is a great thing for any community!”
