CV Community Center Seeks To Build on Strong Foundation
By ERIC SANTOMAURO-STENZELCHERRY VALLEY
Brick by brick, brush stroke by brush stroke, meal by meal, the Cherry Valley Community Center has become a hub for Cherry Valley.
Its purpose is “to provide a facility for every member of the community,” Richard Saba, board chair of the Cherry Valley Community Facilities Corporation, said while walking through the building. “We try to have something that benefits every age group,” he added, “programming, the meal site, and the senior housing wing for seniors, yoga and tai chi for whoever.”
“It’s really a labor of love, because the board is all volunteer, and it’s a lot of work keeping this ship afloat—and expensive,” Saba said.
“It is like a big ocean liner,” Vice Chair Carl Waldman chimed in with a grin.
