 Our speaker will be CJ Urlaub from Catholic Health. His assistance has provided the following as a description of his talk for the evening:“Catholic Health’s newly constructed Lockport Memorial Campus of Mount St. Mary’s Hospital is designed as a ‘Neighborhood Hospital.’ Mr. Urlaub will discuss in detail what this concept means, how it will benefit the region now and well into the future, as well as how the Catholic Health System has facilitated the construction of this modern, state-of-the-art hospital in record time. He will explain what services will be provided at the new facility and discuss how the hospital, scheduled to open on October 10th, fits into healthcare for the future.”

The Board urges members to attend this meeting and to bring a guest! This information is vital to the entire Lockport Community.

The Annual Scholarship Fundraiser has been scheduled for Sunday, April 14, 2024 at the Town and Country Club. We are in need of two volunteers to be Co-chairpersons of this event. Don’t let the designation intimidate you!! This event pretty much runs itself. The of the Co-chairs are to set the menu and to make sure that Micrographics is on board with any printing needs.

Speaking of volunteering, many hands make little work. It would be helpful to have some volunteers to sell raffle tickets at the Fundraiser as well. This would simply mean about one hour to sell tickets at your table. Just let any Board member know if you are willing to help out. It will save Patty countless hours making phone calls!!

The next Board Meeting is scheduled for October 12, 2023 at the home of Mary Beth Wilson, 7 Berkley Drive, Lockport, New York. Please contact her if you will not be attending
