Message from Guardian Angel Center
Cameron County School District
This is an important message from the Guardian Angel Center in Kersey for all families that could benefit from it:
The Guardian Angel Center (GAC) in Kersey will be open only three more times this year on the following Tuesdays: November 17, December 1 and 15. Because the Center will be closed in January, February, and March, we encourage all families who are eligible to take advantage of these dates to get winter coats, hats, gloves, and boots. Gently-used clothing is always available. In addition to the winter items and gently used clothing, GAC will be offering new pajamas in November, and a brand new outfit in December. The Guardian Angel Center serves children from birth to high-school graduation. For eligibility requirements, please see our FaceBook page. If you know of someone who needs a little extra help, please share this information with them.
Thank You to our Veterans

Successful Vet Jam of the Twin Tiers Event @ Tubby's Tavern
Vet Jam of the Twin Tiers
Vet Jam Emporium Event totals:
$7083.77 total event revenue (including a nice last minute donation from JJS Saloon, who has been a great supporter of the cause since day one - they're not on the shirt but they're appreciated, along with all the sponsors you saw on the spotlights this event run!)
$200.00 Advertising Costs
$426.30 Event shirts
$109.07 Event materials/lanyards/supplies
Net revenue $6348.40, all of which will go to causes that support local veterans (The Emporium VFW Rides For Vets program, The Allegany Valley Veterans Center, McKean County CVEB, and the DAV as well as our own Direct Action Fund, where we cut checks directly to local veterans in need of temporary housing, help with unexpected expenses, medical expenses, and other emergent issues which require support).
This may not be a big Wounded Warrior event with big names, it may never make a million dollars or be known outside a small area, but you can count on it being honest, transparent, local, and rest assured that nobody involved is collecting a paycheck on it. You can take that to the bank
