Letter: ABC House Backers Say Thanks, Continue Planning for Opening

Sat, Nov 12, 2011

We wish to express our gratitude to the many Hamilton residents who attended the Village Board of Trustees meetings in September and October in support of village zoning changes that are key, ultimately, to the creation of an A Better Chance (ABC) house in Hamilton. We'd also like to thank the residents who wrote letters to the Board supporting this change.

The success of an ABC house in Hamilton will be built on this community's spirit of action and compassion. We are thankful to everyone who spoke/wrote in favor of exploring this exciting new.

As we wait for the final outcome from the governing board and the Board of Trustees, we continue to work on several areas of the Hamilton ABC action plan including budget planning, fundraising, non-profit status, staff, HCS and Colgate support, ABC student recruitment and establishment of a local advisory board. The current target for opening the doors to Hamilton ABC scholars is Fall 2013. We hope you will stay tuned for future opportunities to become more involved with the efforts to establish an ABC house in Hamilton.
