On June 17, members of American Legion SAL Squad 980 and ALA Unit 980 volunteered at the annual carnival at Southwestern Veterans Center. Jim Lovely, John Fox and "Ham" SAL members, brought Adapt Fore Vet Golf where the veterans and family members tested their golf skills. Laurie Vanselow ALA and SAL member Dave Kuba assisted in guiding wheelchair bound veterans throughout the carnival to get their lunch and participate in the games. The weather was beautiful and the veterans had a great time

Happy Easter

Last night at the Southwestern Veterans Center, was the highly anticipated putting competition, which teams are putting for the coveted trophy’s.

We started off with a pizza party sponsored by Stella, the official mascot of ALA Unit 980 (she ate more than the Vets).

We were so happy to see Don back from the hospital, (he is the amazing artist) and while he wasn’t able to golf, he did enjoy the pizza. Continue to keep him in your prayers. It was a wonderful evening, the laughter rang out of the room, we had some stragglers wander by to see what was going on and they joined in for the pizza.

The ALA Unit 980 & SAL Squad 980 thanks our members Patty Churilla & Terry Churilla for their tireless support & love of our vetetans at Southwestern. We know that these vets appreciate them as much as we do.

One of our long time golfers passed from Southwestern Vetrans Center, James "Jim" Morris, February 20, 1952-March 14 2026. He served in the United States Navey during the Vietnam War. We will miss Jim who never missed a golf date and ] lucky to be included in some of the outings to the American Legion Post #980 Plum Boro, PA.

The loss is tough after getting to know him for all the years we have been volunteering…you become invested in these amazing veterans.

On a lighter note, Becky just loves her hats, so she was proud as a peacock showing off her beret Stella presented her with on her birthday. We have to include Doris also who looks forward to her kisses from Stella.
