Valerie Wells of Lyndonville was appointed an Advisory Board member of the Buffalo-Niagara Honor Flight at the February 2025 meeting.
BNHF serves seven counties in Western New York, as well as Potter, McKean, Erie and Warren, PA and Southern Ontario, Canada.
The organization is planning to recruit volunteers from Orleans County to make the community members aware of the services offered to veterans in our area.
Wells is currently involved with the Butts-Clark American Legion Auxiliary Board, VAVS Committee representative for the Batavia VA, 8th District historian for the American Legion Department of New York, and coordinator of Hometown Heroes in Lyndonville.
In addition, she is a member of Medina Area Partnership, Lyndonville Lions Club, Lyndonville Area Foundation and Leadership Orleans.
Wells plans to be available at informational booths at various venues throughout the county this summer including Blue Thursdays in Medina, OONA (Oak Orchard Neighborhood Association) in Carlton, 4th of July in Lyndonville as well as other areas around the county.
It is her hope to spread the word of the services BNHF offers to our veterans, especially those that served in WWII, Korea, or Vietnam.
