"The services that the Roarke Center provides to our members are indispensable to improving their quality of life," said Sister Linda O�Rourke, President and CEO of the Roarke Center. "We are very appreciative of Senator Bruno�s ongoing efforts to help our organization carry out its mission of providing hope and assistance to the disadvantaged in our community."
"Providing critical assistance services to those in need is one of the most important things we can do to build stronger communities," said Senator Bruno. "The Roarke Center�s outstanding efforts have helped many individuals gain a measure of dignity and self respect, and have instilled the values of personal responsibility and hard work to assist them with improving their lives. I am very pleased to have been able to help this worthwhile organization continue their excellent service to the residents of Troy."
