Picnic

Press Release:

July 26, 1990 was the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the first piece of legislation to provide people with disabilities the right to equal access to employment, governmental programs and services, areas of public accommodations, communications, and transportation. Many consider it to be the most comprehensive legislation giving individuals with impairments access to everyday life.

In celebration of this milestone, every year Independent Living of the Genesee Region (ILGR) holds a Consumer ADA Picnic. This year it takes place from 12 - 2 p.m. on Friday July 26 at the Town of Batavia Kiwanis Park, 3808 W. Main St., Batavia. It offers Free food and games including a Scavenger Hunt.

If you plan to attend, please R.S.V.P. to Catherine DeMare at 585-815-8501, extension 400 or email cdemare@wnyil.org. Transportation to this event may be available; please inquire with Catherine DeMare.

We look forward to having you celebrate with us!

Independent Living of the Genesee Region (ILGR) is a member of the Western New York Independent Living, Inc. family of agencies that offers an expanding array of services to aid individuals with disabilities to take control of their own lives.

Over 100 residents of the 400 Towers and their families and friends enjoyed a picnic on June 20 in spite of the rain.  Lou Signore's 10-piece band played everyone's favorite music from the 30's, 40's and 50's under a tent on the front lawn, and a sumptuous picnic feast was enjoyed thanks to the efforts of the 400 Towers Resident Council and all the residents who pitched in.

Talk about co-operation from the weatherman!  The rain stopped when the band started, and held off until they finished.

This was just one of many varied events planned throughout the year by our Resident Council, which always does a terrific job! 

Our special thanks - this event was made possible by a grant from the Genesee Senior Foundation, Inc., funded by the Rochester Area Community Foundation's Muriel H. Marshall Fund for the Aging.
