MEMBER MILESTONE MONDAY CMAC

This season marks 20 years under the CMAC stars. The 2005-06 renovation transformed the venue experience and launched a new era for live music in the Finger Lakes. Two decades later, CMAC continues to bring world-class artists, unforgettable summer nights, and thousands of concertgoers together in our region.

For 20 years, CMAC has been where the Finger Lakes gathers for music, memories, and moments that last long after the encore.

Congratulations to CMAC on this milestone season — and thank you for continuing to make our community a destination for live entertainment.

The Chamber is thrilled to share Wood Library's newest initiative, The Hub which will connect folks with career service assistance with Ontario County, NY Workforce Development on Thursdays, June 11, July 9, August 13 from 4:30-5:30 PM.

Introducing The Hub at Wood Library, a community health and wellness hub providing essential health services and social supports for adults and teens in the Canandaigua community. Wood Library serves thousands of residents each year, including individuals and families facing housing and food insecurity, physical and mental health challenges, inadequate insurance coverage, and job loss. The goal of The Hub is to improve the physical, mental, and social well-being of vulnerable individuals by reducing barriers to healthcare access, addressing immediate wellness needs, and expanding access to preventive, community-based services. By reducing documented barriers to care—such as transportation, awareness, and accessibility— individuals can connect directly with trusted professionals from existing community agencies and resources in a familiar, accessible setting. The Hub at Wood Library will offer a range of on-site, drop-in services, health education outreach, and wellness events.
