WHAT CURE MEANS TO ROCHESTER COMMUNITY MEMBERS

"I am really excited about this group and how much we've grown in just a few short weeks. Our members are growing fast, and there is so much power in numbers. We will not be ignored, nor shut out. The more the better. If you're struggling getting by, this is the place to be. And did I mention how excited I am to be a part of this!!! Why yes, yes, I did."

Pam Franz

"I think this was a great forum for people to come together. I appreciated listening and speaking. Thank you for doing something instead of nothing. Keep up the discussions! Let's build each other up and keep the negative away!"
