CEO Update: January 30, 2026

Renovation Kickoff

This week, we held our first coordination meeting with our renovation team to formally kick off the next phase of our facility improvements. The meeting included our electrical, plumbing, framing, and other key contractors, along with Tammy, our architect, to review plans, timelines, and next steps.

This initial meeting was an important step in aligning everyone involved, confirming scope, and setting expectations as we move into active renovation work. We appreciate the collaboration and shared commitment to keeping the project moving forward efficiently and thoughtfully.

We will continue to provide updates as the renovation progresses.

Keeping Families Safe

Last week, we were proud to participate in a free community ice skating event in partnership with the City of Olean Fire Department. Operation Warm Hearts generously supported the free skating and admission, allowing families from across our community to enjoy the event.

During the event, we distributed winter hats and carbon monoxide safety kits made possible through the support of Golisano Children’s Hospital and National Grid, helping families stay safe and warm throughout the winter months. We were also pleased to have Mayor Amy Sherburne join us in support of this important community safety effort.

We continue to have carbon monoxide safety kits and gun locks available. If an agency is interested, or if they are aware of a family who may benefit, please have them reach out to me directly.
