| Compeer of Greater Buffalo: "A family of friends united for healthy minds"
I want to thank all of our friends who have supported Compeer in so many
ways and have been instrumental in helping us achieve our mission, to provide
friendship to children, adults, and elders striving for good mental health. My
hat is off to all of our friends who, while striving for good mental health, opened
their hearts to Compeer volunteers.
I tip my hat once again to all of the caring members of our community who
have volunteered at Compeer. Based upon the simple premise that friendship
is the best medicine, Compeer proves that people can make a difference one
person at a time.
First Lady and Mental Health Advocate Rosalynn Carter once remarked that
people who are all wrapped up in themselves make very small packages.
Aside from the parent program in Rochester, Compeer of Greater Buffalo
has grown into the largest affiliate in the National Compeer Network with
a volunteer force of over 350. By embracing the mission of Compeer,
extending a hand in friendship, we have shown that our community lives large.
