As we continue to celebrate National Book Month in memory of our longtime friend and coworker, Jackie Kenney, it is with delight that we post our "OG" Mary Ann Bucolo.

Mary Ann is the Finance & HR Director, and had the pleasure of working with Jackie throughout her MHA career.

These friends are a great example of the connection that reading brings about; often sharing and discussing books, something that Mary Ann misses.

Currently she is reading The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. Whether its snuggled up on the couch or a rocking chair in the Adirondacks- a good book is a good time!

Honoring the memory of our long-time colleague and friend, Jackie Kenney, MHA staff have been celebrating National Book Month.
Our Executive Director, Dan Colpoys, joins in today holding the cover to his favorite book, written by WNY native, Tim Russert, "Wisdom of Our Fathers". Wisdom of Our Fathers is a collection of stories told by sons and daughters about their Dads. Dan, a father of two himself, loves this book because it is a collection of stories not about celebrities or famous people's dads - just regular dads who carried out their fatherly responsibilities to the best of their abilities, as told by their sons/daughters. And... Dan wouldn't want this information to get out...but he says it's the only book that ever brought tears to his eyes. Awwww.

Part of honoring the memory of our long time employee and friend, Jackie Kenney, MHA staff have been celebrating National Book Month.

When we asked staff to be a part of our initiative by sharing a picture and a book, the wonderful Delphine Darrell was the first to join in!

Dell is no stranger to being first- she's the first face you see when arriving to the office and the first voice you hear when calling.

Below you will find Delphine's favorite picture of her and Jackie at our most recent MHA anniversary event, along with the current book series she is reading. If you are into fantasy reads with vampires- check out this series by Emily Blackwood- just in time for spooky season! ❤️📚🧛‍♂️

The goal of National Book Month is to promote the benefits of reading; such as developing and strengthening our critical thinking, communication, and empathy.

These skills directly impact our mental wellness as individuals and a community. Reading is healthy for you and your community!

Pictured below are some of our Compeer Niagara kiddos participating in September's PAM program for tweens and teens. September was M- for music, an open mic session!

Youth were able to perform songs of their choosing (we had everything from metal to rap to country pop to alternative). Some sang, some played instruments, and others came to listen.

PAM happens the 2nd Friday of each month rotating between Physical activity, Art activity and Music activity.

Next session is Friday October 10th from 3-5pm at 98 East Ave in Lockport. This session is P-physical, laid back recess style fun!

No registration needed- just show up!

Compeer Niagara had an exciting trip to the Arcade&Attica Railroad. 27 adult members gathered at the MHA office on Saturday morning, rode a school bus to Arcade and then climbed aboard the train. 🚂

We took in the scenic views along with a good old fashion western "robbery"- bandits & sheriffs included! Afterwards everyone enjoyed lunch at the local pizzeria before heading back on the school bus. 🤠💵 🐎🍕

Compeer Niagara strives for mental wellness through friendship and social inclusion- this trip did that ten fold. 💙

Four of our youth members were able to join us as well- what a great Saturday of kids being kids. 👏

If you'd like to be part of the Compeer Niagara fun, reach out to become a member or volunteer. 🙂

Big thanks to Cindy Causer for her fundraising efforts! Her hardwork, along with all the donors generosity, made an outing of this magnitude possible. 🥰
