  • Our county executive recently wrote a letter to the president of the United States offering Broome County as a place to bring Ukrainian refugees. We have people from Ukraine who settled here in the late 1900's. News today is that the president is going to allow refugees from the current crisis to start coming to the United States. Pray that we in the Binghamton area will be able to help the refugees and to also connect with students from all nations caught up in this current crisis. '..... for such a time as this.'
