THOUGHT OF THE YEAR : HAVE A KEEN 2017
Memories made here! So here's to Good Health, Good Friends and Good Times at the West Seneca Senior Center!

HAPPY OCTOBER ~ THOUGHT OF THE MONTH: " Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower "
Hello and Happy October !! I hope all is well with you and everyone had a great Summer and now we are into Fall ! The thought of the month is "Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower " and how true it is! Like it is with spring where I don't see a flower that I don't like, I love fall and all of the leaves and I have never seen a leaf that I don't like either, with all the colors, shapes and sizes and how you need spring to have summer, you need fall to have winter! We are truly blessed in this area to experience all of the seasons and all of their glory, I wouldn't trade any of it for the world! Just like here at the Senior Center, every day I feel truly blessed to be in your company here and I wouldn't trade this for any place else! Everyone who comes here and who works here makes this place a beautiful Center! Like the flowers and the leaves all of us at the Center have different colors, shapes and sizes and that is what makes the world go round so let's all enjoy Autumn, the falling leaves, the seasons and Each Other! You all are the BEST and I thank YOU for that!

~ Love and Laughter, Mary

WORLD WAR II VETERANS:

Years ago to help maintain the memory and sacrifices of so many West Seneca Veterans the town historian at that time, Frank J. Lankes created a WAR SERVICE RECORD containing the name, address and branch of service of each individual entering military service. An effort was made to track the bases of operations, training and citations for each of our service personnel. These records were maintained, but over a period of time, these WAR SERVICE RESORDS were placed in storage and for the most part, largely forgotten. UNTIL NOW! To help maintain the memory and sacrifices of so many West Seneca residents, the information has been recreated from the original WAR SERVICE RECORD. In addition to the notes compiled by the Town Historian, residents are urged to contribute and additional information on any World War II veteran they may know or have known. The goal is to have a complete military record for each World War II veteran whose unique and crucial contribution helped end the worst conflict the world has ever experienced.

If you have additional military service information that you would like to share on a veteran, please send an email or call Jim Manley so these service records can be updated. With your help, our World War II veterans will never be forgotten.
