Press release
Independent Living of the Genesee Region (ILGR) is holding a FREE “MEET THE CANDIDATES” DAY to enable local residents with disabilities — or anyone from the community — to hear and discuss issues with some of those who are on the ballot in the November General Election. While it is an “off-year election” our Chief Policy Officer Todd Vaarwerk points out that those who achieve local positions now may be the State and National leaders of tomorrow! So, whatever your political views, this is YOUR year to get involved!
The eventis to take place on Tuesday October 24th, from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM, in ILGR’s Conference Room at 319 West Main Street in the Crickler Executive Business Center, Batavia. As seating is limited, people can also attend over the Zoom Meeting platform online. To get the Zoom link, RSVP with Cathy DeMare at 585-815-8501, extension 400. She can also answer questions about the event. It will be also accessible via a live stream on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ILGR14020 and WNYIL’s YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/user/WNYIL.
If an attendee wishes to be familiar with the “hot” disability issues, sheets of suggested questions will be provided; but participants are encouraged to ask about public concerns that are close to them. The building is fully disability accessible.
The Western New York Independent Living, Inc. family of agencies offer an expanding array of services to aid individuals with disabilities to take control of their own lives.
