A great time was had during our December meeting and gift exchange. The kids had a funny time and received gifts from a secrete Santa! Thank you to the Ellicottville American Legion for hosting our family.

Thank you all for your support in gun raffle. The winning ticket was #558.

May we never forget our brother and sister that lost their lives in Pearl Harbor on Dec 7th 1941.

The attack on Dec. 7, 1941, killed 2,403 service members, and civilians were killed during the attack on Pearl Harbor, according to the National Park Service. Five of the eight battleships, three destroyers, and seven other ships stationed at the base were sunk or severely damaged. More than 200 aircraft were destroyed.

From our families to yours Happy Thanksgiving. May you each be thankful for something today and remember to check on a buddy. 🦃🇺🇸🥃

From year to year he drifts alone.
His story only few have known.
About a boy who went to war,
and there he stayed forevermore.
His leathered skin and graying hair,
his tattered clothes and gazing stare,
standing tall, yet head so low,
he carries scars we'll never know.
So know that our freedom isn't free.
It came from heroes such as he!-Unknown

Happy Veterans Day to all our brothers and sisters no matter where your time took you. May you enjoy the day set aside to honor your service to our country. 🇺🇸🥃

Hey there, friend. Even if it might not feel like it sometimes, we want you to know.

You matter.

You're valued.

You're appreciated.

We care about you.

And we would miss you if you decided to leave.

We know the holidays are especially difficult. We know times are hard. We know people are struggling.

Please know that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength.

Check in on your people. Do something special for your neighbors. Be kind to everyone you meet, for everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about.

May you all have peace today, and every day.

For our veterans in the Olean area.

Support Our Veterans in Wyoming County, NY!

Our brave veterans deserve the care and respect they've earned through their service. Wyoming County has one of the highest veteran populations in New York State, yet resources for mental health, crisis response, housing, and more are falling short.

We're calling on the New York State Legislature and Governor to increase direct funding to Wyoming County veteran programs, expand peer support and mobile outreach, and ensure accountability to reduce veteran suicides and improve outcomes.

Sign the petition today to honor their sacrifices and provide the support they need! Download the petition form [attach or link to PDF], print it, gather signatures, and help us make a difference.

Together, we can save lives, strengthen families, and restore faith in our promises to those who served. Act now! 🇺🇸
