We want to thank everyone for all the help we received in escorting the Alumni from the NYS School for the Blind this past week At Batavia Downs. A special shout out to the Attica Lion's Club, who covered Wednesday for us. Ted Harding even came to help Tuesday night, as well as Wednesday. It was a very enriching week with all of the Alumni!
