Top Visitor Spotlight!

If you spend time at the Chili Community Center, chances are you have seen Marc around. Whether he is walking laps on the indoor track, enjoying a meal at the Senior Center, or relaxing with a cup of coffee in the lobby, Marc has become one of the familiar faces that helps make the CCC feel like home.

Originally from Montreal and now a Chili resident for more than 30 years, Marc was recently recognized as the Chili Community Center’s Top Visitor since opening, with an incredible 1,086 member scans through May 18, 2026.

Known for his quiet demeanor, friendly smile, and consistent presence nearly every day, Marc represents what the Chili Community Center is all about connection, routine, wellness, and community.

To celebrate this fun milestone, Marc was presented with a commemorative plaque and 5th Anniversary pin by Parks and Recreation Director, Mike Curley.

If you see Marc around the building, be sure to say hello and congratulate him on this special recognition. Thank you, Marc, for being such an important part of our CCC family and helping make this building a welcoming place for everyone.

The Chili Community Center was built to create opportunities for people to connect, grow, and belong. Five years later, it’s the people inside these walls who continue to bring that vision to life every single day. We’re proud to share another community story as part of our anniversary celebration.

STAFF SPOTLIGHT — FULL-TIME CHILI RECREATION TEAM

As we wrap up our 5th Anniversary Staff Spotlight series, we want to recognize the full-time Chili Recreation team the people working every day behind the scenes to help make the Chili Community Center a truly special place.

This team is constantly moving. Planning programs. Coordinating events. Meeting with instructors. Answering calls and emails. Managing registrations. Setting up rooms. Troubleshooting schedules. Creating social media content. Supporting leagues. Building partnerships. Solving problems. Finding new ideas. Then doing it all again the next day.

They are the hustle and muscle behind Chili Recreation.

What makes this team unique is that no two days are ever the same — and no one wears just one hat.

On any given day, they might be a coach, chef, mentor, role model, inventor, scientist, artist, photographer, event planner, referee, counselor, marketer, decorator, listener, or problem solver. They help run sports leagues, family events, senior programs, preschool activities, camps, community partnerships, room rentals, special events, and programs for every age and ability level.

But beyond the programs and events, this team helped build something bigger.

Together with our incredible staff, members, volunteers, instructors, and community partners, they helped shape the culture of the Chili Community Center into what it is today — welcoming, active, creative, inclusive, and community driven.

This building is more than walls and programs. It is people. Relationships. Traditions. Connection.

We are proud of what happens here in Chili, and proud of the people who help make it happen every single day.

Thank you to our full-time Chili Recreation team for your leadership, passion, creativity, flexibility, and commitment to serving this community. The impact you make reaches far beyond the walls of this building.

Thank you for helping make Chili such a great place to live, play, connect, and belong.

ChiliCares is proud to host a Community Shoe Drive supporting Soles4Souls throughout the month of June 2026.

We are collecting new and gently worn shoes to help give them new purpose. Donations support Soles4Souls’ 4Opportunity program, which helps create sustainable economic opportunities for families facing hardship by turning donated shoes into resources for small businesses around the world.

Soles4Souls also helps bring brand-new shoes directly back into communities through the 4EveryKid program. Locally, that impact was recently felt when 100 brand-new pairs of shoes were donated to Discovery School in Rochester, NY.

Please donate shoes that are clean, wearable, and paired together.

Thank you for helping ChiliCares make a difference, one pair at a time.
