The Independent Living Center hosted its first Taste of Independence festival in Jackson Square last night.

Several local restaurants and bakeries served food at the fundraiser, which included a basket raffle.

Donna Becker is Independent LIVING's Administrative Assistant...she has nothing to do, as far as I know with Independent HEALTH !! Also, on behalf of the Governing Council and staffs of ILGR and WNYIL, I'd like to thank all who participated in the event for a great night of food and fellowship and entertainment !!
