Telephone Notification System

We're introducing a new telephone notification system to help keep you updated about important news, activities, and any changes at the Center. It will make it easier for you to stay connected and informed. This system will help us send out important reminders, event announcements, emergency alerts, schedule changes or weather-related closings, directly to your phone or as a text message. We will continue to post announcements on social media and our website, but now you can hear directly on your phone about any changes or updates at the Center.

You don’t need to do anything - when there's an important update, the system will automatically call the phone number you have listed on your registration form. You’ll hear a recorded message that will explain what’s happening and provide instructions and contact information if needed.

This system is very easy to use. If you ever feel unsure or need assistance, we’ll be here to help. If you have any questions, feel free to ask Center staff or call 716-633-5138.

We’re excited to have this new way to keep you connected and informed. We hope it helps make your experience at the Center even better!
