ATTENTION ALL 7th & 8th GRADERS IN JEFFERSON, LEWIS, AND ST. LAWRENCE COUNTIES: THE DEADLINE TO ENTER A $10,000 GIVING COMPETITION IS NOVEMBER 20!

“Community is the cornerstone of American society. Tight, yet diverse groups of people working together for the benefit of all is what our ancestors dreamed of and more,” Case Middle School 8th-grader (now WHS freshman) George Weir wrote in his winning Community Spirit Youth Giving Challenge essay in support of OBI Land Trust, Chaumont. “Without OBI, trails would be overgrown, and water corrupted with trash and mud. OBI makes Northwestern New York a paradise for all, not just anglers and hikers.”
