Pioneer PRO, a student service group founded 20 years ago in the wake of 9/11, is back again this year with its Giving Tree program. Individuals, groups, and businesses are urged to sponsor local needy families during the holidays with monetary donations. Please contact Mrs. Louise Herrick at 716-492-9300 ext. 1360.
Members of Arcade VFW Post 374 and Arcade Legion visited Pioneer High School on Dec. 2 with two donation checks of $300 each to present to Pioneer PRO. The local veterans organizations have a long tradition of donating to this cause.
"Thank you to the VFW, Arcade Legion, and auxiliary for supporting Pioneer PRO," Mrs. Herrick said.
