Safe & Supportive Community initiative
Isn't it BETTER
to do things TOGETHER?
The Family and Community
Development Program Committee is launching Better Together in 2005 to post and share all of the FREE and FUN activities that people do in
Tompkins County. Here you will find a copy
of our flyer that may be posted anywhere in Tompkins County! Thank
you and we hope you will share your ideas this Friday on a feather to
"help get the bird off the ground!"
