Michael Wereszynski – Board Member, Past President

Favorite Thing About CNY: “Where ever the day takes me! CNY has so much to offer and when you think about we are ideally placed. Whether it comes to traveling to a major metropolis (for example NYC, Buffalo, or Toronto) to driving through some beautiful country (like the Finger Lakes or Adirondacks), or just hanging out at a local hot spot, anything you want to do or see is within a short distance. Another thing that is more like an addiction, is volunteering for events. Whether its Big Brothers and Big Sisters bowl-a-thon, the Habitat for Humanity build, or just helping some of my neighbors out. I feel I need to be out there trying to better this community of ours in one way or another.”
Jeff Havener – Board Member
Jeff Havener lives in the Onondaga Hill Section of Syracuse.
Favorite Thing About CNY: There’s always something to do, inside or outside. I’m an avid golfer and enjoy playing different courses with friends and family. I am also a die hard SU fan and love to go the Dome to watch a game.
