We extend huge heartfelt thanks to The Mechanics Club in Montour Falls for the use of their facilities and donating their time and expertise. Working with our United Way board and other volunteers, we provided a delicious and memorable kick off annual spaghetti dinner that signals the start of the United Way of Schuyler County 2025 campaign.
Through the extreme generosity of our small businesses, the community was served a homemade spaghetti and meatball/sausage dinner with salad, Italian bread, and a cookie for dessert. The following folks made it happen: Brian and Mary Ellen Croft from the Mechanics Club, Jeffrey Fazzary of Art & Nancy’s, Ryan VanHorn of Holy Cow, Bill Tague of Jerlando’s in Watkins Glen, Bobby Decker of Bleachers, Curt & Barb Connelly of Curly’s Family Restaurant, and TOPS Market.

We are so very grateful for the support showed by The Mechanics Club, the businesses, board members, and volunteers. We are proud to be a part of this wonderful community that takes care of its own.
