Special thanks go out to all our volunteers who helped out at the United Way’s annual day of caring event. Understanding that our work comes first, an additional day was needed to finish up the painting that the group home requested. Special gratitude to those who went there twice to make sure we finished up our projects!

Employees at LECESSE Construction are currently involved in the newly formed Upstate Chapter of The ACE (Architecture, Construction, and Engineering) Mentor Program of America, Inc. ACE is a unique partnership among industry professionals who work together to attract young people to the A/C/E profession(s). This program matches a team of A/C/E professionals with a team of High School students in order to provide hands-on learning opportunities for students wishing to pursue a degree or career in the A/C/E profession. Industry professionals volunteer to mentor students to introduce and encourage them to pursue studies and careers in these fields in the hope to increase the future talent bases of these industries. Shown here are photos of a recent "simulated bid" that took place at our offices in January. Student teams competed against one another to build a top quality dog house as cost effectively as possible.
For more information on this program, feel free to visit http://www.acementor.org

This season, LECESSE Construction participated in the Ronald McDonald charities holiday house campaign. We adopted the wish lists of families being served by the local Ronald McDonald House and contributed to the needs of the house.

We were able to collect a nice variety of items, gift cards and cash contributions totaling $250.00 …a warm thank you to all who helped to make the Holidays a little brighter for families dealing with illness this time of year.

In Memory of our Friend and Colleague, Brian Zamiara
 Together with the Tim and Eileen Stanton family, LECESSE has established the Brian Zamiara Leadership Award Scholarship.

Anyone wishing to contribute to this fund can make your check payable to "The Brian Zamiara Leadership Award c/o ACS" (Avon Central School) and send into our main office to the attention of Laura Zarcone.

American Red Cross Blood Drive - 2nd Annual
|
Recognizing a constant need, LECESSE Construction employees came together again with other tenants in our building to sponsor our annual in-house Blood Drive. Thanks to our staff's enthusiastic participation, we are able to collect a prearranged goal of blood, which last year totalled 20 pints collected. Amazingly enough, The Red Cross tells us that each pint collected has the potential to save three lives!
"It's personally satisfying to me to recognize how a simple act of giving can have such a profound affect on someone else in our community." Lora, LECESSE employee
