The New Woodstock Malcolm Taylor American Legion Post 172 held their annual Veterans’ Day Dinner on November 9, at the post. The members of the American Legion Auxiliary Post 1572 were also in attendance. Gary Foster, commander made a moving presentation on POW/MIAs. Beverly Slocum, Chaplain gave the prayer.
The dinner was a time to recognize the two Cazenovia High School students that attended Boys’ State, and Girls’ State: Noah DeRochie and Samantha Morgan, both of New Woodstock. These students, now seniors, spoke to the group about their experiences. They learned about government first hand by participating in the forming of a government and passed laws. Both of them spoke fondly of their time at the week long event.
