| Announcements : Leadership Cattaraugus Receives Donated Flowering Dogwood |
|
Posted by JaneneDunn on 2008/5/8 15:49:25 (23 reads)
A flowering dogwood tree was recently planted at Jamestown Community College’s Cattaraugus County Campus in honor of Leadership Cattaraugus’ Class of 2008.
The group received the donated Asian/Japanese variety after class member Tim Whitcomb contacted Schichtel’s Nursery in Springville to schedule a visit for an upcoming Agri-Business Program Day in July. Whitcomb, along with Agri-Business project team members Michelle Federowicz, Jeanne Johnston, Dan Bailey, and Gretchen Spencer, believed planting a tree as the cohort was beginning its year would provide a strong foundation for the entire group. In addition, planting the tree just after Arbor Day and Earth Day, made it the perfect time for the gift, said James Kisker, sales manager at Schichtel’s.
“Many people will plant a tree as a tribute to something. Every time you look at the tree you are reminded of that which you wish to pay tribute. As Leadership Cattaraugus recently introduced Agri-Business into its curriculum, it only makes sense that we pay tribute to such. Planting the tree as a group is symbolic of us coming together as a team in order to ‘kick off’ the start of our planning process for Agri-Business day. I speak on behalf of the entire group when I say we are honored to be a part of Leadership Cattaraugus 2008,” said class member Michelle Federowicz.
Leadership Cattaraugus is a joint initiative of the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce, Jamestown Community College’s Cattaraugus County Campus, the ReHabilitation Center and St. Bonaventure University, with the goal of “growing” future civic leaders.
Founding Partners in Leadership Cattaraugus include Alcas Corporation, Cattaraugus Empire Zone Corp., Cooper Power Systems, Cytec Industries, Dresser-Rand, Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce, The Iroquois Group, Jamestown Community College, Olean Advanced Products/AVX, Olean General Hospital, The ReHabilitation Center and St. Bonaventure University.
For more information, contact Jesse Gugino at 716/376-7572, leadershipcatt@mail.sunyjcc.edu, or any member of the organization’s board of directors, including Marjorie Litteer, Bonnie Welch, Tina Zerbian, John Stevens, Dave DiTana, Bill O’Dell, Rob DeFazio, Pete Dandrea, Mike MacWilliams Dan Antonioli, and John Sayegh.

| Health & Services : 50% off Women of SWILL® Calendar Benefiting Living Beyond Breast Cancer |

Posted by SWILLparty on 2008/5/4 11:00:11 (28 reads)

This 15-month calendar goes through March 2009 and can be previewed and purchased at www.swillparty.com. At $9.99 (plus tax), the four-color, 11 x 17” spiral bound wall calendar makes a bold statement toward giving, and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Living Beyond Breast Cancer (www.lbbc.org). To save local shipping, you can also place your order by calling 71-375-4209 Monday - Friday from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
LBBC is dedicated to empowering all women affected by breast cancer to live as long as possible with the best quality of life. “We are honored that the SWILL women designated LBBC to benefit from this calendar that illustrates the importance of being comfortable with yourself,” said Jean Sachs, MSS, MLSP, executive director of Living Beyond Breast Cancer. “It also shows how caregivers can find different ways to support the women in their lives who are affected by breast cancer.”
Kerry B as Miss January says, “It's not every day you get an offer like this – I wish they'd asked when I was 18, though. I did this crazy thing for my mom, who died after fighting breast cancer twice in 20 years. I wanted to represent her during that first moment she learned she had cancer – she burst out of the doctor's office, striding forward, determined. In that traumatic moment, she was full of power and strength. As a 9-year-old child, it was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen.”
You can become a link in the support chain. Help a woman live with breast cancer – please buy a calendar today!
