"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." - Helen Keller
My family goes back several generations in Newfane and I am proud to a part of this society. I believe it is very important to help our fellow neighbors and preserve our history. It is my privilege to be part of a group that has become invaluable to the community and works tirelessly with any challenges placed in front of it. I look forward to assisting in any way possible as we continue to grow and develop our organization together, while also striving to maintain the long-lasting traditions carved out by our many members over the years.
