Superimposed and extending over the top, the forearm and hand of Lady Liberty holding her torch. Medium gold color with a heavy black shadow along the right side,the forearm, torch and flame are made to appear as if they are basking in the glow of the rising sun, shining down and from the left.

Recreation
The Edgerton Community Center located at 41 Backus Street, Rochester, NY 14608 (Map), (585) 546-7510 V/TDD emphasizes recreation and socialization which serve as the basis of the Center's Programs. The Center provides a range of recreational services to a variety of people. The Center operates a Drop-In Program which normally runs Monday and Friday from 9AM-5PM, and Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 12-8PM (but check the Calendar regularly for date and time changes). The Drop In Center serves as a hub for people with disabilities to gather in an inclusive and diverse setting. Whether focused on advocacy, games, topical discussions, or themed events, the Center offers fun, creativity, support, and a dynamic place to be. Several evenings each week, the Center offers Dinner for $1, in which people receive nutritious meals in a family-style setting, after which they are welcome to stay for evening events.

In addition to the unstructured Drop-In Services, regularly scheduled social and recreation events are held. Participants plan picnics, informational meetings, or other activities, generally one or two each week. We also provide space and food for ADAPT trainings and send staff to ADAPT actions. For many people, advocacy is their choice for recreation. The Center has been the hot-bed of local advocacy efforts. In fact the Center was the ONLY local agency to immediately support accessible RTS buses.

The Center also provides an Aquacize Class for people with disabilities. Located in the Clinton Baden Recreation Center, this Program is free. The instructor provides adapted pool exercises and teaches swimming. Lap swimming is also available. The Program is comparable to suburban fee-based programs. The Clinton Baden Recreation Center is located at 485 North Clinton Avenue, Rochester, NY 14605 (Map).
