Riverview Sector donated $1,000 to Church & Community Program in memory of Jeffrey Hyde, who recently died in a car accident. NYSCOPBA officials from Riverview Correctional Facility presented the check along with Mr. Hyde’s parents, John Hyde and Christine Ormsbee.

Mandi Perry of Canton Burger King presented a basket of PJs the workers chipped in to buy for Giving Tree; Gouverneur-based Marble City Bombers softball team and their families donated generously; just a peek at the many gift-laden tables; Chuck Lamon of Victory Promotions gave us cases of sweatshirts printed with logos of local sports teams. Thank you, everyone! All of your donations and help came from the heart, and you made all the difference.
