JAMESTOWN HOSTS GREAT SPEAKERS
Recently, Eric Livengood of Ulrich Planfiling Equipment Corporation spoke to the Rotary Club of Jamestown. Ulrich Planfiling will be celebrating 100 years manufacturing in Lakewood, NY in 2015. It is a metal furniture and sheet metal fabricating company in Lakewood. 
Whereas the Company still manufactures the planfile that was invented by Charles Ulrich in 1915, it remains strong through new products, flexibility and investing in the best manufacturing equipment. Also key to a bright future are the 40 people working at Ulrich Planfile who believe in quality, customer service, and quick turnaround for make-to-order products. An attentive audience listened to this presentation about a local company that has remained strong while developing the capacity that put it on firm footing for the future.

At a recent meeting of the Jamestown Noon Rotary Paul Cesana, Executive Director of the Resource Center, presented the program. Mr. Cesana, who is a Rotarian, came to the United States to study at the University of Buffalo. He became executive director of The Resource Center, also known as TRC in 1988. TRC is the largest provider of services for persons with disabilities in Chautauqua County and one of the largest non-profits. The organization is actively working to move away from fragmented services to greater integration. This includes a focus on managed care and holistic outreach and support, and finding the most effective service to meet the needs.
Since 1988, TRC’s budget has grown from $17 million to over $100 million annually. The number of people working has doubled. It provides $4,000,000 in wages for disabled employees and serves 17,000 individuals in the County. It is the 3rd largest employer in Chautauqua County, paying $48 million in payroll and benefits.
