Please hold Thursday, June 24, from 11 a.m. until noon on your calendars for the dedication of the Richard M. Guon Child Care Center.
The event honors Richard M. Guon, the late entrepreneur, humanitarian and chairman of the Monroe Community College Board of Trustees. Until his death in April 2009 at age 62, Guon was president of Guon Corporation, which owns and operates several McDonald’s restaurants in Rochester.
Guon was affiliated with the MCC Foundation for over 20 years, first as a Foundation director and then a Foundation Council member. He led the college’s first capital fundraising effort, which raised $1 million to build the child care center. The center opened in 1991 and has since provided quality care to nearly 2,000 children and 1,400 families. It offers a range of programs serving infants, toddlers and preschoolers. During the summer, programs are available for school-age youngsters.
