Issue 2: March 2023

Who was there?

Felisha Legette-Jack, Head Coach of SU Woman's Basketball , kicked off our 2022 walk on the Abolition Road. We continue to be inspired by her stellar first season with the CUSE! 

We didn't forget your shirts!

Imagine our horror when, after opening the last box of shirts, we discovered that most of the Large and Extra Large shirts were missing!!!! We sheepishly explained and you kindly slung your size small shirt over your back, donned a cap and marched on. For this we will be eternally grateful.

We have the list of people who asked to be sent the correct size shirt. They have finally come in and we will be working to send those out to you soon!

Mark you calendars now for Saturday, October 21, 2023.

Registration opens April 2023. There will be an early registration discount to those who register this summer! Keep your eye out for the link in the next monthly newsletter.

We are so grateful ...

...to Otis Jennings, a member of the Steering Committee, and a leadership consultant to the Canastota Schools, for his great work raising funds for the 2022 Abolition Walk. Otis ….we couldn’t have done it without you.

Big Thank You!

Did you know that Gwendolyn Saunders, Senior Community Relations Manager for National Grid, graciously joined us that day, brainstormed ideas on the future and visited the National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum?  National Grid was our Champion sponsor for 2022 and we are forever grateful to them for this show of confidence.
