Annual Meeting

SEAC’s 42nd Annual Meeting will be held on Monday, May 23, 2011 at Cobbs Hill Lake Riley Lodge from 7:00 - 9:00 pm.  All are welcomed to join us for coffee and desserts and a recap of this past year and a forecast of the upcoming year.

Tool Library Permanently Closed

Our economic climate has dictated a number of changes for SEAC over the past year.  As many of you know, the Tool Library has been closed for the past 18 months.  It was our hope that we would re-open this spring in our new location on the Elmwood campus of the Al Sigl Center.  Unfortunately, we had to make some hard decisions on programs and services due to lack of funding.  This has dictated that we have to permanently close the Tool Library.

Annual Meeting

Invitation 

SEAC’s 42nd Annual Meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 23, 2011 from 7 until 9 pm at Lake Riley Lodge at Cobbs Hill Park.  Coffee and desserts will be served.  All are welcomed.  If you plan to attend, please call the SEAC office at 244-7405 ext. 106 or email jballiet@myseac.org

Our past year will be reviewed as well as plans for the future.  All are welcomed!

Must be having fun

We all know the old saying, “How time flies when you’re having fun!”  Well, when I see how dated my previous entry was, I can’t believe it was five months ago!  We are in our new location at the Al Sigl Elmwood Campus.  We’ve been here just a little over three months and it’s a great location.  We’re in the building known as “the greenhouse” because there is an actual greenhouse attached to our office building.  Some people have gotten confused because the Al Sigl Commuity of Agencies has multiple campuses. 

We’re located on the ELMWOOD CAMPUS at the Northeast corner of Elmwood Avenue and South Avenue.  You can access the campus either from Elmwood Avenue or South Avenue.  We love when people come and check out our new “digs” so please know that if you’d like to see our new office, we’d welcome you and be happy to give you a tour.

City Night is TONIGHT!

SEAC’s largest annual fundraiser begins at 6 pm tonight at Cathedral Hall at the Auditorium Center at 875 East Main Street.  Tickets are $25 and available at the door if any of you are making last minute plans.

CITY NIGHT features Live and Silent Auctions, great hors d’ouerves, beer, wine and bottled water.  And of course, coffee and desserts!

This is a great event to see old friends and to meet new ones and to celebrate “City Living”.  We have some terrific auction items — might be a good time to get some holiday shopping done!  Hope to see you tonight.

On the Move

The SEAC office is temporarily “virtual”.  We have moved out of 580 South Avenue.  THANK YOU NeighborWorks for providing us with such a wonderful space for the past almost two years!  You were a life-saver after our January ‘09 fire!

Our phone (585-244-7405) is still hooked up so you can call and leave messages or you can email any of the staff.  All email addresses are listed on the website.

We will be moving into our new location — the greenhouse on the Al Sigl Center campus — on January 3, 2011.  A new beginning for a new year! 

TV Raffle Tickets still available

Provide info on Crimes through texting

The Rochester Police Department has partnered with Monroe County.  Members of our community can now provide information regarding crimes through text messages.  You just send a text to 274637 (CRIMES), then type TIP 177 in the beginning of your message, then type your tip.  It’s important that you put TIP 177 in the body of your message as this is the agency ID number for The Rochester Police Department.  You do not have to leave your name, this is completely anonymous, and no one will attempt to identify the owner of the cell number.
