Wreaths Across America 2020 style: Honoring Revolutionary War vets in Riga Article and photos by Pamela A. Moore, Harvey C Noone Legion Family Like everything else, the pandemic affected National Wreaths Across America (WAA) Day. At Arlington National Cemetery, the place where WAA began in 1992, the event was changed and scaled back. The same was true in Riga/Churchville. Laying over 500 wreaths and the public ceremony were put on pause until December of 2021. That said, as with Memorial Day, the Harvey C. Noone Legion Family Post 954 in Churchville was not satisfied letting the day pass by without notice. After assessing the situation, we developed plans to allow the community to join with us to accomplish the WAA mission of “Remembering those who have fallen, Honoring those who serve and Teaching our Children the value of freedom,” but in a different manner. A list of ideas and opportunities for individual participation, at the time and place of your choice, was published. We also solicited pictures to post on our website showing different ways individual community members chose to

Members of the Legion Family were not the only ones with heavy hearts that the large scale public portions of the event were on pause. Shaun Smith, a resident of Williamsville and a member of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR), felt likewise. He had learned that there were Revolutionary War patriots buried in Riga Cemetery, and he contacted us to ask if there was any way that he, along with the local Society of the Children of American Revolution (CAR) covering Monroe and surrounding counties and the Daughters of the American Revolution, could work together, within the pandemic restrictions, to honor patriots buried in Riga Cemetery who served in the Revolutionary War. Since 1923, the Harvey C. Noone Legion Post # 954 has proudly served our commu- Shaun Smith rang a bell as nity and our veterans. We each name was read.
were honored to be asked to partner with three other national organizations also dedicated to promoting patriotism and teaching children about our history and the patriots who have fought to preserve our freedoms. Our answer was a resounding, “Yes.” On Saturday, December 19, representatives of the Harvey C. Noone Legion Family with representatives of the Sons of the American Revolution, the Children of the American Revolution, and the Daughters of the American Revolution met in Riga Cemetery at the grave of Revolutionary War patriot Joshua Clark. As part of the ceremony, Shaun Smith told the story of Joshua Clark from his birth in Rochester, Massachusetts, to his service during the Revolutionary War, to his move to Riga as one of its early settlers. Next, the names of veterans of all wars and conflicts buried in the cemetery were read by Hilton resident and DAR member Betty Vinch, and Legion Family Members Pamela Moore, Gilbert Budd, and Mary Martin. A bell was rung after each name was read. CAR member Macey Smith concluded the ceremony by playing taps. Macey Smith, CAR, playing Although small, it was taps to conclude the ceremony. a moving and inspiring ceremony. Thanks to Cayley Smith, daughter of Shaun Smith, the entire ceremony was recorded and is available on YouTube. Go to www.harveycnoonepost954.org for a link to view the video and to hear the full story of Joshua Clark. Work is already underway to partner with the Children, Sons, and Daughters of the American Revolution again next year to expand the WAA ceremony by honoring Riga’s first pioneers and patriots, as well as all others who have selflessly served our nation in times of war and peace. We invite you to participate by sponsoring a wreath, volunteering, or, hopefully, attending a public ceremony.

Proper Light = Proper Sight = Good Balance!
On December 14, seven Byron-Bergen staff “elves” entered the Batavia Walmart with one goal: Help ease the holiday stress for members of the Byron-Bergen community. These holiday helpers filled 32 shopping carts with $7,000 worth of merchandise to assist more than 72 kids from 28 local families in need. For many years, district teachers, staff, and administrators have worked together with local partners to make the season brighter in the Byron-Bergen area. This year’s Holiday Community Service Project collected close to $8,000 in donations from faculty and staff, Byron Presbyterian Church, OXBO, State Street Animal Hospital, the parishioners of St. Brigid, St. Brigid Holy Name Society, and individual community members. These generous contributions were enhanced by a $1,000 Walmart Community Grant. The grant was applied for by the Byron-Bergen Faculty Association. “We are grateful to Walmart for helping us meet the needs of our community during this unprecedented time,” said Byron-Bergen Faculty Association President Jen Faro. The holiday items, purchased from Walmart as well as other retailers, were each wrapped and labeled by ByronBergen staff volunteers. It took four days of hard work, but on Saturday, December 19, staff members delivered black contractor bags filled with brightly wrapped presents to individual cars in the High School bus loop. The Byron-Bergen Holiday Community Service Project traditionally also collects non-perishable food for distribution. Due to the current public health safety measures, the 2020 project only collected a few food items which were

In lieu of their traditional food basket collections, the local Masons at the Hesperus Lodge 837 raised funds to donate forty $30 Walmart gift cards. “This has been a particularly tough year,” said ByronBergen Board of Education President Debra List. “I’m inspired, but not the least bit surprised, that the ByronBergen staff and community have once again shown that their kindness is matched only by their generosity and caring.” Provided information

WEMOCO’s annual EXPO moves online WEMOCO Career and Technical Education Center at BOCES2 usually hosts an annual EXPO for families and a Tour Day for tenth-graders who are considering WEMOCO for their junior year. The pandemic has canceled all of WEMOCO’s in-person events. Instead, they have put short program videos online along with a career exploration page with resources provided by many of their community partner organizations.
One advantage of the online version is that students are usually time limited in how many programs they can visit. With these online overviews, prospective students and parents can get a glimpse into every program. Visit https://www.monroe2boces.org/Expo2020 to explore the programs offered at WEMOCO.

Bring in the birds with Monroe County 4-H Not all birds fly south for the winter, which is lucky for us here in Upstate New York, as birding can be a wonderful activity for the whole family all year long. Birding is the observation of birds in their natural habitats. It can be done inside and outside of the home, through a window, on a porch, or on a trail. During these challenging times, birding is a great way to connect with nature, even as we are stuck in our homes. Next time you are outside or near a window, take a moment to notice the birds. Connecting to the natural world has numerous health benefits for all ages. It allows us to recharge, decrease anxiety, reduce stress and loneliness, improve cognitive development, and it can be fun. Birds are wonderful and wacky creatures with stories to share once you begin to pay attention. Learn more about our feathered friends through upcoming programs with 4-H. As part of its monthly Mighty Monday series, Monroe County 4-H is offering a free virtual workshop, “Bring in the Birds! Feeding our Feather Friends,” on Monday, January 11, from 6 to7 p.m. In this workshop, explore common winter birds seen in Upstate New York, the basics of birdwatching, and how to safely attract birds to our outside spaces. Participants will create two simple feeders to provide a healthy snack for the birds.

Record-breaking Check Out Hunger campaign supports Foodlink Wegmans Food Markets provided Foodlink with significant support last spring with a $700,000 donation to aid its early COVID-19 relief efforts as food insecurity rose dramatically in the Rochester area. This fall, Wegmans customers matched that generosity – and chipped in a little extra. A grand total of $710,212.34 was raised from customers’ donations at 21 Rochester-area Wegmans stores during the annual Check Out Hunger campaign. The total is the highest since the campaign began in 1993.
“Like they do every year, Wegmans customers showed up in a big way to support Foodlink during a critical time for us and our community – and we couldn’t be more grateful,” said Julia Tedesco, President and CEO of Foodlink. “The Check Out Hunger campaign is a significant fundraiser that allows us to ramp up our operations to address the dramatic rise in food insecurity that has impacted every corner of our region.” The point-of-sale campaign, which has raised more than $43 million across all of
its stores since it began 27 years ago, allows Wegmans customers to donate $2, $3 or $5 – or round up their grocery bill – while they are in the checkout line. This year’s campaign ran from October 18 through November 28. “We are so proud to partner with our community to raise money for our food banks,” said Colleen Wegman, president and CEO of Wegmans Food Markets. “We are overwhelmed by the generosity our customers have shown for one another. Together we can help end hunger in our neighborhoods.”
Funding helps support Foodlink’s ongoing response to COVID-19, which has impacted tens of thousands of households’ ability to put food on the table for the first time. Before this year, approximately 135,000 people in Foodlink’s 10-county service area lived in a food-insecure household. Due to the economic impact of COVID-19, close to 200,000 people now have limited or uncertain access to enough healthy foods.

sports & recreation Hoping to play a sport in college? Two local athletes and one coach who have gone through the process offer suggestions by Warren Kozireski Many high school athletes dream of continuing their career at a two or fouryear college or university, competing at the Division I, II, or III level. How do you get noticed? How do you avoid violating NCAA recruitment guidelines? How does the process usually work? “There are NCAA protocols which must be followed,” Spencerport varsity wrestling coach Dan Glover said. “It has been my experience that coaches have reached out to coaches first.” There are specific guidelines, which are sometimes different for a Division I school versus Division III or junior college. They are spelled out in detail on the NCAA website, http://www.ncaa.org/student-athletes/ future/recruiting. The process for some can begin as early as their freshman year of high school. Churchville-Chili senior Patrick Mitchell recently committed to play men’s lacrosse for Division I Canisius College starting during the 2021-22 academic year. “I knew I wanted to go to Canisius early on,” Mitchell said via email. “I attended their prospect camp and feel I had a really good day of play. Immediately after the camp, on the drive home, they reached out to me and told me they wanted to have me back for a visit. The following week, I visited the campus. “I cannot stress this enough. If you know the few schools you may want to attend, it is a great idea to attend one of their camps. They do pay close attention and you get to hear from the coaches and players to get a sense of their vibe and program culture.” Holley senior Kayleigh Neale also recently committed to play women’s soccer at Division III Baldwin Wallace University in Berea, Ohio, southwest of Cleveland.
“The coaching staff reached out to me after they saw me play in a tournament last February,” Neale said via email. “I was considering a few different colleges but over the summer I narrowed it down to two.” There are strict regulations about how often and when a college coach or recruiter can contact a potential recruit. The NCAA guide refers to these as the Contact Period, the Evaluation Period, the Quiet Period, and the Dead Period. An official campus visit paid for by a college or university is any visit with expenses covered by the college. An unofficial visit involves expenses paid for by the athlete’s family. According to the NCAA guidelines: “During an official visit the college can pay for transportation to and from the college for the student-athlete, lodging and three meals per day for the student-athlete and his or her parents or guardians, as well as reasonable entertainment expenses including three tickets to a home sports event. The only expenses a college-bound student-athlete may receive from a college during an unofficial visit are three tickets to a home sports event.” “I did go to campus for a visit,” Neale said. “While I was there, I had a meeting with an admissions counselor so I could learn more about the school and academics. After that, my parents and I went on a student-led tour of campus. Then we met with Coach Jim (Wojtkun) for a tour of the athletic facilities and had a meeting with him in his office.” “I did do a campus visit,” Mitchell said. “Since Canisius is so close it was just a day visit. My parents and I attended a practice, met with the coaches (received my offer), and then coach took us on a facility and campus tour.” What are college coaches looking for?

Holley senior Kayleigh Neale (center) recently committed to play women’s soccer at Division III Baldwin Wallace University in Berea, Ohio. Provided photo. “In all my interactions with college coaches, the common thread has been character,” Glover summarized. “They are looking for athletes with outstanding credentials but more importantly the personal characteristics that will be an asset to their program and the college. Winning and statistics are a foundation for gaining attention from college coaches but certainly an athlete’s personal character, work ethic, and coachability is what separates them from the rest of the pack. “Deal breakers that I have witnessed include a poor work ethic in the classroom and athletic realm.” The NCAA also has strict regulations about needed high school GPA and SAT/ ACT test results, and those requirements are different depending on the level of college competition. Division I, for example, requires completion of 16 core high school courses (with specifications as to the subject breakdown), a 2.3 GPA along with test scores adding up to a sliding scale. “If you have a low test score, you need a higher core-course GPA to be eligible. If you have a low core-course GPA, you need a higher test score to be eligible,” the guidebook states. Assuming a player being eligible and a coaching staff ’s interest, there is then the process of choosing the school, program, and coaching staff that you believe is the best fit. “I have a close friend who plays there now, so I have heard great things about the team, coaches, and the way they all get along,” Mitchell said. “It’s close enough for my parents to go see me play and they have a very strong program in the major I want.” “I chose Baldwin Wallace because it felt like the best fit for me,” Neale said. “The academics are really great and I loved the campus and location. Baldwin Wallace also
has a very welcoming environment. Everyone that I met has been extremely friendly and helpful and after I had the opportunity to meet some of the girls on the team, I knew it was where I wanted to be for the next four years.” Mitchell had targeted Canisius, but also had interest from several other schools. The formal process was relatively short, “Literally nine days. I knew they were the school for me. They checked all the boxes in terms of what I wanted for lacrosse competition, education, and geographic location. Once I knew they wanted me to play for them it was an easy decision.” Neale’s journey was quite a bit longer. “I first started communicating with college coaches the summer between my sophomore and junior year when I went to a few camps at schools I was interested in, so it was about a year and a half before I decided where I wanted to go.” And finally, both athletes talked about any surprises they had during the process. “The only real surprise during my process was COVID-19,” Neale said. “It’s made the process more difficult for a lot of people because of games and tournaments being canceled.” “I think the biggest surprise is how many different ways there are to get onto a coaches’ radar,” Mitchell said. “For me, guest playing in a local tourney, word of mouth, Under-Armor games, attending a prospect camp, and tourneys with my club team, FCA Upstate, all led to contacts from coaches. Also, make sure you take time to have a highlight tape and somewhere a coach can find it. FCA did a subscription for all their players to have a page on Sports Recruits. It’s crazy the number of coaches that have relied on that to go view videos of players and help make a decision during these COVID times.”
Golfer Dustin Johnson named Hickok Belt® Award winner for second time in 2020 Dustin Johnson has been selected as the Hickok Belt® Award winner for the month of November – marking the second time he was selected for the award this year. Voting was conducted by a select panel of members of the National Sports Media Association (NSMA). The voters selected Johnson based on his first Masters victory on November 15. The Masters is the world’s most soughtafter golf title. This major golf tournament
was Johnson’s 24th official victory on the PGA Tour. He won by five strokes over his closest competitor. His 20 under par total of 268 was the lowest score by any golfer in the history of the Masters. Other finalists for November in order of how the NSMA ranked them were: Patrick Mahomes (football), Derrick Henry (football), Chase Elliott (auto racing), Rafael Nadal (tennis), Authentic (John Velazquez
aboard - horse racing), Jason Pierre-Paul (football), Travis Kelce (football), Sei Young Kim (golf), and Gervonta Davis (boxing). Johnson’s selection as the Hickok Belt® Award winner for November 2020 recognizes him as “the best of the best” in professional sports for the second time this year and makes him a strong candidate to receive the 2020 overall award. Johnson joins other 2020 monthly winners LeBron
James, Bryson DeChambeau, Donovan Mitchell, Jon Rahm, Tyson Fury, and Patrick Mahomes as contenders for the overall 2020 Hickok Belt® Award. To learn more about the Hickok Belt® Award and its history, visit www.hickokbelt.com. Provided information

Applications for COVID Rent Relief Program open through February 1 New York State Homes and Community Renewal’s (HCR) COVID Rent Relief Program has reopened for application with expanded eligibility criteria in an effort to serve New Yorkers who may not have had the opportunity to initially apply and those who may have been previously ineligible. HCR will accept applications from households starting at 9 a.m. on Friday, December 18 through Monday, February 1, 2021. “HCR is acutely aware that this pandemic has put more pressure on New Yorkers who were already housing insecure, and these improvements to the Legislature’s original program will expand access to rent relief while building on Governor Cuomo’s eviction protections,” Commissioner RuthAnne Visnauskas said. The program’s eligibility has been changed to no longer require households to have been considered “rent-burdened” prior to the pandemic in order to qualify. Rent burden is defined as paying more than 30 percent of monthly gross income towards rent.
Residents who previously applied for COVID Rent Relief will not have to reapply to be reconsidered. HCR will re-evaluate all applications that were denied according to the new criteria and issue revised determination letters to applicants. To qualify for this one-time subsidy, low-income renters impacted by the pandemic must meet all of the following criteria: •Must be a renter and have a primary residence in New York State; •Applicants must have lost income during the period of April 1, 2020, to July 31, 2020; •Before March 7, 2020, household income must have been at or below 80 percent of the Area Median Income, adjusted for household size; and •Households must be “rent-burdened” during the months they are applying for assistance between April 1, 2020, to July 31, 2020.
For the purposes of assessing applicant income, cash benefits and unemployment benefits are both included in the calculation. The subsidy for eligible applicants will be calculated as: the difference between the household’s rent burden on March 1, 2020, and the household’s rent burden during the months of April, May, June, and July of 2020. For applicants who were not considered rent-burdened on March 1, 2020, the subsidy will be calculated to bring them to the 30 percent rent burden threshold. Applications are available on the COVID Rent Relief Program portal on HCR’s website, https://hcr.ny.gov/rrp. Throughout the application period, residents who need help or have questions about their application can contact HCR’s COVID Rent Relief Program Call Center for assistance at 1-833-499-0318 or covidrentrelief@hcr.ny.gov. Call Center representatives are available Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. Provided information

The recipient in 2020 is The Posh Ponies 4-H Club. The group strives to complete at least one service project each month. Their projects in the past year have included protecting the environment by removing invasive species to preparing meals for families needing support. The Five Star Program for the 4-H Horse Project is a progressive achievement program designed to teach
horsemanship skills and knowledge. First star recipients show aptitude regarding breed identification and tack identification. Awarded with a first star this year is Kennedy Guhman. Second star recipients move up a level and challenge themselves to identify coat color of horses or understand hoof care. Second star recipients in 2020 are Victoria Canales, Melanie List, Ella Torrence, Angelica Montagliano, Sofia Beghini, Ava Cerroni, and Allyson Thummler. Challenging themselves with mastery at the third star level were Erin Zielinski, Mattisen Rife, Makena Barbieri, and Ariana Dimitriadis. These youth learn the movements of a horse in different gaits and learn about nutritional needs of horses. Cloverbud members Travis List, Melanie List, and Ella Schwab were all recognized. These are the youngest 4-H youth and are the future of the program. Gymkhana show awards were received by youth. Erin Zielinski and Ava Ciravola were the Junior and Reserve Junior Champion at the Monroe County 4-H Gymkhana Show. Senior and Reserve Senior Champion at the show were Anya Katz and Sara Menke. Anya Katz was the recipient of the 2020 Monroe County 4-H Gymkhana Trophy. At the virtual awards program, youth were also recognized for participating in knowledge events throughout the year and receiving scholarships to attend camp. The 4-H Horse Awards were provided for youth in fivegallon plastic buckets that were donated by Runnings in Brockport. Youth were able to gather in small groups for watch parties. This allowed families to remain physically distant and socially connected. The Monroe County 4-H Program is offered through Cornell Cooperative Extension to the youth of Monroe County.

This year, I’m giving myself a gardening gift. Actually, it’s a New Year’s gardening resolution and a gift all in one. I plan to convert a portion of one of my cutting garden beds into a Christmas garden for growing shrubs, perennials, annuals, and herbs that can be used for Christmas decorating. Right now, what I have in my landscape for holiday use is pretty limited. It would be great to be able to head out to the yard and gather fresh greens throughout the holidays. Making your own wreaths, garlands, centerpieces, and more can become a fun holiday tradition and is especially rewarding when you grow your own natural materials. Greens can be expensive to purchase and may not include the varieties you are looking for. Planting your own shrubs, trees, perennials, and even annuals for holiday decorations is a great way to personalize your Christmas decor and always have a supply of materials on hand. Decorating with greens during the winter holidays is an ancient tradition. Evergreens represent life and hope for the return of spring. Incorporating evergreens in your landscape not only provides material to bring inside but also keeps your landscape looking beautiful year-round. Remember, when using evergreens and other harvested plant materials inside, keep them in as cool a location as possible. Try for spots that are out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources and candles. As greens dry out, remove, and if desired, replace with fresh greens and natural materials. Landscape shrubs like holly, juniper, arborvitae, cedar, etc., can take a long time to become established, so plan accordingly. I wish I had started growing more landscape plants for holiday harvest years ago. When you do harvest, remember that you are actually pruning your plant. Distribute cuts evenly. Evergreens like pine, fir, and cedar do well when brought inside after harvest as
they dry out slowly. Spruce and broadleaf evergreens are better for wreaths, garlands, and arrangements that will remain outside. I do, however, bring some boxwood into the house at Christmas. It can have a pungent odor, but I find the odor diminishes after harvest. As you plan your garden, think about including varieties of evergreens that have variegated leaves. Variegated holly is beautiful, as are variegated ivies. I have a potted ivy that goes outside in summer and comes inside in winter. I will begin harvesting it for holiday decorating this year. Ivy holds up well out of water and can be included in wreaths, arrangements, or simply placed down the middle of the table to create a centerpiece garland. It looks great embellishing a special holiday gift package, and if you set up a Nativity scene, it is wonderful to have ivy and other greens to decorate the display. Don’t forget bare branches, which are great for creating winter arrangements in outdoor pots. Red osier dogwood is a classic example - the branches are a deep red color. Herbs are another great option. Sage is beautiful in wreaths and arrangements, as is rosemary. These plants can also be grown in pots and brought in for holiday and winter displays. Rosehips, holly berries, pine cones, and various seed heads can also be used for decorating. Take a look at the seed catalogs that will be showing up in the mailbox soon. Think about annual flowers that can be grown for drying. These make stunning additions to wreaths and can be used to make dried arrangements that will last all winter. Dried hydrangea blooms and other dried florals like larkspur and cock’s comb (celosia) make fantastic additions to your Christmas tree. This holiday season, give yourself the gift of a theme garden makeover. It’s a great way to add new life to your yard and may even lead to new holiday traditions in the years to come.
Plants grown right in your own yard can make fabulous holiday decorations. You can plant a Christmas garden to supply you with fresh, natural decorative materials in winter. It’s a gift you give to yourself that will keep on giving for many holidays to come. Photo by Kristina Gabalski.

Opportunity to honor suffragists is extended until January 15 To celebrate the centennial of the passage of the 19th amendment, The National Collaborative for Women’s History Sites (NCWHS) created the National Votes for Women Trail (NVWT) to be an interactive searchable mobile-friendly database for researchers, educators, and heritage tourists. The William G. Pomeroy Foundation took the virtual NVWT and made it a physical trail by offering historic markers to places of special significance to the suffrage story. To further expand this body of knowledge for future generations, Pomeroy has extended its Women’s Suffrage Marker nomination deadline to January 15, 2021. The Pomeroy Foundation, which is a private, grantmaking foundation based in Syracuse, has already provided fully funded grants for markers at 68 locations throughout the United States. The NCWHS has also received an additional 179 marker nominations. The
deadline extension to January 15 will provide organizations with additional time to finalize and submit potential candidates. “We have seen tremendous interest in the National Votes for Women Trail from communities all over the country. Our map has over 1700 sites. We are beyond grateful to the Pomeroy Foundation for their generous support. By installing historic markers at key sites around the country, we are creating the lasting monuments that suffrage crusaders of every ethnicity, gender and background so richly deserve. We stand on their shoulders,” stated NCWHS President Marsha Weinstein. “The Pomeroy Foundation is proud of the success of the partnership with the National Collaborative for Women’s History Sites on this important effort to develop the National Votes for Women Trail and commemorate the 19th Amendment centennial,” says Paula Miller, Execu-
tive Director of the Pomeroy Foundation. “Helping to preserve and celebrate history is a core mission of the Foundation.” Anyone with an idea for a historic marker to commemorate women’s suffrage in their community is asked to contact their NVWT State Coordinator to begin the nomination process, https://ncwhs.org/votes-for-womentrail/state-coordinators, or contact the NCWHS directly at https://ncwhs.org/about/contact-us/. Municipalities, nonprofit academic institutions and 501(c)(3) organizations are especially encouraged to submit a nomination. Pomeroy Foundation signage grants are fully funded and cover the entire cost of a marker, pole, and shipping. The local partner is responsible for installation of the marker. Provided information

Comments Riga Recreation awards “Secret Santa” prizes On Monday, December 21, the Riga Recreation “Santa Mobile” took flight over the roads of Churchville/Riga in search of unique and tastefully decorated homes in the area. Santa was accompanied by his trusty elves and others to choose these homes and give them “Secret Santa” gift cards purchased from local businesses. We were greeted by many surprised smiles and the cards were given to residents in a socially distant manner. (Yes, Santa had his mask on!) Thanks to Bailey, Brooke, Lily, Sue, Ryan, and Matt for all their help to bring precious smiles to the faces of the homeowners. David Thomas Riga Recreation Supervisor
End of year gratitude As we approach the end of this challenging year, I am filled with gratitude for all our neighbors who make helping others a priority. Their commitment to service takes on added significance as our communities face this global pandemic together. I extend a special salute to our region’s healthcare heroes who continue to sacrifice so much to help our region get through this crisis. Daily, I am humbled by our American Red Cross volunteers, who share of themselves to help the most vulnerable prepare for and recover from life-changing disasters - like fires, floods and other emergencies - locally and nationally. This year, following historic wildfires in the west and relentless hurricanes along the Gulf Coast, many traveled far from home to support thousands of families. Others provided aid from afar, communicating with displaced families by video or phone to deliver hope and help virtually. Thank you to our partners who share with us a common purpose and community spirit that extends our reach and helps connect more individuals with critical humanitarian support. And thank you to our supporters who allow the Red Cross to deliver emergency relief 24/7, 365 days a year. Wishing happy holidays and a safe 2021 to all. Let’s continue to look out for one another. Alan H. Turner II CEO, American Red Cross Western New York Region
