Former Student Raises Money for Cancer


The 100 Miles of Nowhere

To benefit the Livestrong Foundation

and support cancer research

What: A 100 mile bike ride with participants registered around the world! "100 Miles" refers to the distance ridden, "of Nowhere" refers to an infuriatingly small course (around the circle of East and West Cavalier Roads … 213 times!!!!!!).Join us

(unofficially) and ride, walk, rollerblade, or jog as much or as little as you want! (or just pull up a lawnchair and watch as the spectacle unfolds!)

When: Saturday May 8th 6AM to whenever the task is completed! (It should take 10 hours give or take a few!) You can come anytime and stay as long as you like!!

Where: Headquarters is 72 W. Cavalier Rd., Scottsville, NY. (Don’t forget your lunch and your lawn chairs!!) Snacks will be available for sale with proceeds donated to Livestrong.

Who: Corey Brandes of 72 West Cavalier Rd. will be riding 100 miles in 1 day around the circle 213 times. (your support will make this task much more bearable!)

Donations will be accepted but are not required. We’ve donated to enter the event. Any extra is icing on the cake to battle cancer!!

There is a map (attached) of the course and parking for those who are traveling from outside the village of Scottsville.

In order to get an idea of how many people are coming (and make arrangements) or ask questions, please e-mail [ mailto:coreybrandes@gmail.com ]coreybrandes@gmail.com by May 2nd if you’d like to support us and this great cause!!! Ride On!

District Reserves - Fiscally Effective for the Community


District reserve funds are an effective method Wheatland-Chili and all schools can use to manage both routine costs such as buses and equipment as well as unexpected costs such as building damages or repairs.
Effective use of these funds, with voter approval, keeps taxes low and predictable for our community.
The link below was produced by the Monroe County School Boards Association. It is a useful overview of how districts are able to use such voter approved funds.
