UPDATE: SPAFFORD VETERANS MEMORIAL 
It has been reported that over $2500 has been raised so far to bolster the coffers of the Spafford Veterans Memorial Park Fund, from fund-raising letters sent to property-owners in the Town of Spafford. Over $1700 was raised from Ryan Phillips' Slalom Ski of Skaneateles Lake on August 2nd. The committee will meet soon to begin plans to begin the next phase, and prepare to install the two granite benches. Many thanks to all those who gave. It is heartening to see the community come together for such a worthwhile project.
