Write a commentOswego Industries Inc., a Fulton-based nonprofit agency that supports adults with developmental disabilities, recently completed construction of an outdoor pavilion thanks to a generous donation of $1,000 from the Syracuse Corvette Club.
“We’ve been working with the club for four years now,” said Laurie Davis, executive director of Oswego Industries. “Thanks to their continued dedication, the people we support can escape from the stresses of their day and spend quality time outside.”
The pavilion is located behind the Oswego Industries campus at 7 Morrill Place in Fulton. Construction was completed in time for the agency’s annual picnic for people supported by the organization. In addition to building the structure, donations from the Corvette Club allowed the agency to purchase a picnic table and Adirondack chairs and put down a crushed stone walkway to improve access for those with limited mobility.
“The Syracuse Corvette Club is thrilled to partner with Oswego Industries and the wonderful people that they serve,” said Jim Ennis, president of the club. “We’re grateful for the opportunity to share more ‘smiles per gallon’ with all of them and look forward to continue growing our wonderful relationship together.”
