About the tour from Julianna’s website:
As the great great granddaughter of Michael, Snyder – namesake of Snyder, NY – I can’t wait to show you around my neighborhood and share six generations of Snyder memories! Join me for a walk through history as we compare the Snyder landscape of yesteryear to today and learn about the people and places that made this hamlet what it is today!
The Class of 2021 will graduate on Friday, June 25th at KeyBank Center in downtown Buffalo. In celebration of this group of seniors who will officially become Amherst Alumni, we are asking you to make a donation to the Amherst Central Alumni Foundation, Inc.
Because of the pandemic, the Foundation has cancelled its main fundraiser, the Alumni Golf Classic, two years in a row. A donation from you would help ease that loss of these funds. Our generous support from Amherst Alumni allows us to do what we do.
The foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization supporting the Amherst Central School District by engaging alumni and the community. Our donors help bridge the gap between basic funding and what Amherst students need to truly excel. Since 2003, we have given out over $110,000 in grants.
There several ways you can donate:

Donating through Facebook is easy and the Foundation receives 100% of your donation. No processing fees.

“Hi my name is Jennifer. My little brother Joshua N. Allen passed away on June 1st, 2021. He was only 20 years old. He was terribly sick for several months originally diagnosed with double pneumonia. Overtime it was discovered he had also fell victim to a very deadly disease known as HLH or Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis.
He passed away at Roswell Cancer Institute after so many weeks of fighting and showing promise. This rocked the very core of our family.
As the youngest, Joshua did not have any life insurance. Due to the extenuating costs of his home going services and the incoming medical bills it has been hard to cover all of it by our family alone.
For the sake of my mother, my older brother, and the rest of our grieving family we are willing to accept any help that is offered.
Joshua was always the life of the party and his energy could light up a room. I think it’s best to give him a home going that reflected how he truly lived: big and bold.”
