Letter to ER Residents

Dear Resident,

We've been getting a lot of inquiries from residents about how they can receive their COVID-19 vaccine, so I wanted to take some time to share a few resources with you, which you will find below. At this time, the Town/Village is not part of the vaccine administration process, which is being run primarily through Monroe County and New York State. We do want to be a resource and point people in the right direction so as many friends, family members and neighbors as possible can get vaccinated and help reduce the spread of COVID-19 here in our community.

With more than 200,000 vaccine doses having been administered in the Finger Lakes Region, we are on the right track, but we can't let our guard down yet. Please continue to wear a mask, maintain your social distancing, wash your hands, and know that we will get through this together.

At the top of the hill on the corner of Main and East Ivy Streets a flagpole was erected on the highest elevation in East Rochester.

During the years following World War I, community members felt a memorial was needed to honor our soldiers. The Ladies’ Auxiliary of Jules Verne Fish Post, Ame
