Cornell Cooperative Extension Centennial Kick Off

The Cornell Cooperative Extension Centennial Kick Off event on July 21, 2011 at the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College was a huge success. Over 60 people comprised of elected officials, business owners, community members, agency staff and volunteers attended this event. The success of the event was largely due to the support from local businesses and community members.
