“Team work is the best way to work together.”

We love our community

Here in the Finger Lakes we have a very diverse community ranging from city to rural settings with people with diverse abilities within them. We love going out into each part of the Finger Lakes to hear the unique challenges and triumphs so we can come together on issues we all face regardless of where we live geographically within the Finger Lakes community.
