To the family of George W. Bush: George was a Chemung Volunteer Action Corps (former RSVP) volunteer for just a year and a half, but he donated 239 hours of his time to serving others in our community and he seemed to really enjoy every minute of it. We truly appreciate folks like George. Please know that you are in our thoughts.
Sincerely, the CVAC staff.
