I have always felt a strong attachment to the East End House. The Pilarski family has been attending their programs for several generations, and they have had a tremendously positive effect on all of us. My mother used the building as a child back in the 1930s, and I have been living next door to the organization for 45 years. My children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren all also attended the East End House Program and had a great time there. I am proud to run for East End House and want to help them continue to grow.
