Skalny Welcome Center opens at St. John Fisher College

The Joseph S. Skalny Welcome Center at St. John Fisher College was officially opened on June 14, 2009. The center is named after the long-time college benefactor and member of the PHSR. Mr. Skalny passed away in December of 2008, and the center is a fitting memorial. The ribbon was cut by college president Donald Bain, PHSR president Maria Weldy, family member and PHSR board member Frederick Skalny, Pittsford town supervisor William Carpenter and LeChase Construction vice president William Mack. The PHSR will use an office in the new center.
