Last month, Cheryl Smith, Residential Director of HCA, was asked to speak at the 109th Annual Convention of the New York State Elks Association alongside CP State. The NYS Elks have donated close to $30 million to CP Affiliates across New York, including HCA, since 1964.  Cheryl Talked about the very real and heartfelt impact the Elks have on New Yorkers with disabilities. “It’s one thing to list the number of visits we make or the vans that you help us buy, but at the center of it all are the people we serve,” she said. “Your contribution makes life better for people with disabilities, plain and simple.”  If you’d like to donate the NYS Elks Major Projects Program, and help people with disabilities, go to www.nyselks.org/mpcc.htm
