Stephen Cole Day - Saturday 3/1

As you may know Canandaigua City Manager Stephen Cole suffered a brain hemorrhage in August 2007. He has spent most of the rest of last year in Strong and the Shepherd Center in Atlanta for rehabilitation. A Stephen Cole Day has been scheduled for the first of March to raise awareness of his challenge and to raise money for his treatment. The day's event include:

• $5 breakfast at Charlie's 7:30-11AM.
• Run/Walk starting at the Fire Station at 8AM-suggested registration fee $20, registration begins at 7AM.
• Basketball competition at the Middle School 1-3PM.
• Concert at the United Church (located on the corner of Gibson and North Main) at 4PM.
• Dinner with live and silent auction at Bella Lago 6-9PM, $25 dinner with desert and $10 desert only.

Funds raised during the events will help the Cole family cover the high costs of his intensive speech therapy.

Donations and registration for the run or walk event can be made through the tax exempt organization "Neighbor to Neighbor" by visiting the web site: http://www.active.com/donate/stephencoleday

Donations can also be made direct to the tax exempt organization "Neighbor to Neighbor" C/O Robert Matson, 79 Buffalo St., Canandaigua, NY 14424. Please note the check for "Stephen Cole".  Also if you have items to donate for the silent auction, contact Mr Matson at rmatson@mpnewspapers.com.

I’m hoping that Canandaigua Lacrosse supporters can support this community event in a big way.

Thanks to all those who have already contributed and or who have volunteered to help with the Stephen Cole Day activities.
Thank you for helping the Cole family.
