Bill Smith, Town of Pittsford Supervisor, surprised us with his attendance. He gave an eloquent testimonial about the healing power of being in nature and presented beautifully worded commendations to our two clubs for our century of leadership in environmental matters. We learned from Supervisor Smith that the Town of Pittsford uses in total for the entire town an equivalent amount of pesticides as what would be typically used on an individual 1/2 acre home site.
