CASSADAGA – The Cassadaga American Legion Auxiliary Unit 1280 met recently and held their first meeting of the year, with 14 members attending.
The opening prayer was given by chaplain Paula Pattison with a moment of silence held for those who passed away and for veterans.
All committee chairs signed up for their respective committees for the year. For Americanism, it was announced that out of the more than 250 flags in the Cassadaga Legion flag program, 82 flags are sponsored by Unit 1280 members. It was reported that our Cruise Night bake sales went very well over the summer, as well as the Legion, auxiliary and sons chicken barbecues. Post 1280, the auxiliary and sons members participated in the Cassadaga Labor Day parade. The unit recently held a funeral luncheon for the family and friends of Post 1280 veteran Don Fowler.
Unit 1280's membership dues for 2027 are now being accepted.
Unit 1280 is making plans for its annual vendor showcase on Saturday, Oct. 24. Plans are also in the works for the post to hand out candy, books and crafts on Halloween, and with the Sons of the Legion, a Veterans Day program is being planned for November.
The next meeting will be Tuesday, Oct. 13, at 6:30 p.m. at the post.
