Thank you, as always, for meeting with the Black Diamonds!

Enjoyed a pizza lunch party with Peekskill’s Black Diamonds Academic Success. We were able to discuss the different hardships that today's young people face and what we can continue to do to surmount those challenges. Always a pleasure to get together with you, Black Diamonds!
