The group is part of a larger contingent helping to raise funds to support a new Culinary Arts Training Program for people with disabilities.
Batavia – Members of the local restaurant industry have joined in the fundraising efforts to help renovate the Genesee ARC Community Center. Eleven area businesses are participating in a promotion that will give a percentage of proceeds to the Genesee ARC Capital Campaign underway to complete work at the agency’s Woodrow Road site, the former St. Mary’s Elementary School.
The promotion runs Sundays through Wednesdays from April 11 - June 9. Genesee ARC will receive a donation equal to 10% of each purchase when the customer presents a promo card or ad at the following participating businesses: Alabama Hotel, Alex’s Place, Batavia Restaurant Supply, Bohn’s, Clor’s, D & R Depot, Delavan’s, Larry’s Steakhouse, Sport of Kings, TF Browns and Terry Hills.
The promotion excludes Mother’s Day or any other promotions or discounts. Anyone with questions may contact Genesee ARC Director of Development Shelley Falitico at 343-1123, ext. 231 or sfalitico@rochester.rr.com.

I'm a huge fan of Genesee ARC. They do great and important work. This sounds like a great program for a worthy cause.

I'm certain this program is being developed to help some consumers gain independence in the job market by providing them with kitchen skills. Why the outright slam about the trash contract? Walk a mile in their shoes Mr. O'Brien and see what type of job you could find. Bravo to the Genesee County ARC and to the supporters of this program! It's a great idea!

Peter,
If there is no public money involved, why do you run your stupid stuff? I thought you supported people doing what they want with their time and money.
