Yesterday afternoon, over 40 Unity House managers and directors gathered for an annual teambuilding outing at Shipwreck Amusements in Cortland. Teams were shuffled to provide the opportunity to meet faces both new and familiar as everyone played a round of mini golf. This outing provides an opportunity to mix and mingle with folks from our many sites and programs, as our work is spread across multiple central New York counties. Thank you to everyone who came out to play!
