If you live in Cayuga County, you may get a letter in the mail from the Sheriff’s Office.
The New York State Sheriff’s Institute is holding its annual Honorary Membership drive and invitations will be arriving in randomly selected mailboxes in the county over the next two weeks.
Donations go to support the Sheriffs’ Summer Camp on Keuka Lake which sees 840 economically challenged kids participate annually as well as scholarships, crime victim services, and personnel training.
Sheriff Brian Schenck wants to remind you that neither his office nor the institute solicit donations or memberships over the phone.
“The Cayuga Sheriff’s Office is proud to support the Sheriffs’ Institute and the excellent work they do in supporting our youth and personnel. The incredible summer camp experience and educational and training opportunities provided by the Institute are invaluable assets to our county residents and sheriff’s office. We encourage anyone who is interested to become an Honorary Member and help support these great programs,” states Sheriff Schenck.
