It is through the support of TOB Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Commissioner of Parks Joe Pinto, Senator Alexis Weik, Legislator James Kennedy, Legislator Rose Walker, Legislator Laura Schaeffer, Legislator Spencer, Legislator Josh Lafarzan, Assemblyman Michael Durso, and LICADD that our organization can work with our communities - we are truly blessed to have their support.
