Cayuga County proclaims Dec. 11 'Meg O'Connell Day' for early-childhood work
Summary
Legislature read a proclamation Dec. 11 recognizing Meg O'Connell and ABC Cayuga (formerly Born Learning Cayuga) for efforts in early childhood development, surveying parents and opening a community play space at 100 North Street.
The Cayuga County Legislature used part of its Dec. 11 session to read a proclamation honoring Meg O'Connell for her leadership with Born Learning Cayuga (now ABC Cayuga) and for mobilizing local early-childhood leaders and families.
The proclamation, presented in framed form to be delivered to Meg O’Connell, noted that the group collected 550 community surveys from parents, caregivers and educators, incorporated in 2016 as a 501(c)(3), raised funds (including about $450,000) to design a safe play space, and opened an outdoor play area after renovations at 100 North Street in May 2024. The proclamation credited ABC Cayuga’s work in bringing parenting supports and resources — including programs to assist families with complex needs — to county residents.
Aileen McNabb Coleman, identified in the text as chair of the legislature, read the proclamation and thanked O’Connell and partners; the legislature resolved to present the framed proclamation to O’Connell.
