                             It gives me great pride to say I work side by side with the most amazing people of our Tri-County Adirondack Region, and how honored I am to be chairman of the 2012 United Way Campaign.

                        As a Town and County Supervisor I know first hand that government is not always the answer for all of our needs. With the economy and the cost of living being what it is in this day and age , we need to find it in our hearts and souls to help our neighbors, friends and families, who have to rely on these much needed services provided by our 39 partner agencies.

                        A wise friend of mine once said "that separately we accomplish little, but together we can accomplish the extra ordinary".

                        Last year our togetherness enabled us to exceed our campaign goal, I am confident that we can do it again.

                        Remember when it comes to lifting the weight off from someone's shoulders and giving them a piece of mind, no donation is too small and every little bit helps.

                        Thank you for your continued generosity and support towards the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc.
