November 4, 2014 Canandaigua Connected ENewsletter 

Of course your vote counts! Especially if you think it does not.  It is our civic duty to know what candidates stand for (or against) and cast our votes. In talking with twenty-somethings I find a lot of apathy and bad mouthing of one party over another.  My personal opinion is that no party is perfect and there should be no wasteful spending on mail or TV campaigns to claim superiority. How about just an easy to read flyer or website with all candidate bios, voting history, and platforms (equally represented)? Period. This Benjamin Franklin quote made me chuckle: "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!" Click here to find your (Ontario County) polling location on the info list and ROCK THE VOTE!

FLCC announces Veterans Day program, gets Military Friendly School status

A retired Marine Corps officer will give the keynote address at the Finger Lakes Community College Veterans Day Ceremony on Tuesday, Nov. 11, at 2 p.m. in the main campus auditorium, 3325 Marvin Sands Drive. The ceremony is free and open to the public.

Lt. Col. Win Harper served as a battery commander in Vietnam and has been honored with the Legion of Merit medal and the Purple Heart, among others. His keynote address will be preceded by remarks from FLCC President Barbara Risser, and Lt. Col. John Sheppard, retired from the Air Force, who is also the Seneca town supervisor and a member of the FLCC Board of Trustees.

In related news, a website that provides resources to help members of the armed services transition to the civilian workplace has named Finger Lakes Community College a Military Friendly School for the assistance it provides veteran students.

G.I. Jobs is a website run by Victory Media, a veteran-owned Pennsylvania-based business that connects the military and civilian communities. The site invites colleges and universities to take a detailed survey about the services they provide for veterans, such as mentoring specifically for veterans and programs that help faculty understand veterans' needs. G.I. Jobs scores the surveys and publishes results to help servicemen and women learn about post-military education and career opportunities, particularly those designed specifically for veterans. FLCC sent in a survey for the first time this year and scored high enough to be granted the website's Military Friendly School designation.
