NYS OASAS Western Regional Office staff Cathie Puleo and director Patrick Morrison join GCASA Executive Director John Bennett, Board President Sue Rigoni and board member Jason Smith in cutting the ribbon at GCASA's new office in Albion. Over 100 visitors poured through the doors of the rennovated former Knights of Columbus building on East Avenue in the Village of Albion. The architectural firm of Fontanese, Folts, Aubrecht and Ernst who re-designed the building was represented by Don Aubrecht, senior partner, Bill Ciszak and Hector Garrido and builder Martini Construction and contractor Bill Hayes from Turbull Heating were on hand for tours. Several local community members commented on the re-use of a building that was uninhabited and falling into disrepair. The office houses prevention program staff, a treatment facility with counseling staff, medical director and nursing personnel, and employee assistance professionals. The prevention program coordinates the Orleans United Drug Free Communities Coalition who will now have a conference room available on-site to hold committee meetings. The treatment program has two large rooms that will be used daily for group programs. The office is located at 249 East Avenue in Albion, the phone number remains the same, 589-0055.
