On Saturday, October 5th, 2019, walkers gathered at the Central New York Dyslexia Center at the Eastern Star Home in Oriskany, NY to participate on the 14th Annual 3/5 K Walk to Help Children with Dyslexia. The event included a chicken bbq provided by Jim Spinella’s Grate Chicken Men, a bake sale and bottle and can drive.
