SAME Buffalo Post - VIRTUAL Lunch Speaker on DOE's West Valley Updates

Watch the event's video

It was a beautiful September morning for the first “Engineering in the Outdoors” STEM event sponsored by the Society of American Military Engineers - Buffalo Post at the Penn Dixie Paleontological & Outdoor Education Center. The day was centered around hands-on engineering and science based activities facilitated by SAME Buffalo post members and community volunteers. We had a great deal of interest from the kids as well as the adults!

Special thanks to our partner volunteers at National Fuel Gas Company, TRC Companies, Inc., AECOM, BE3 Corp , GPI / Greenman-Pedersen, Inc., Erie County, Bergmann, EA Engineering, Science, and Technology, Inc., PBC, Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper, and especially Penn Dixie for helping to organize and facilitate the event!

Huge shout out to our STEM Committee Chairs - Caryn Kiehl-Simpson & Kaitlin McCormick for organizing this awesome event!

The Buffalo Post had their Spring Virtual Lunch Speaker Series where they had a presentation on the Buffalo & Erie County’s Naval & Military Park - Past Present and Future. Paul Marzello (President of the Park) discussed how the USS The Sullivans (DD-537), a 78-year old Fletcher-Class destroyer that saw action in World War II, the Korean War, and the Cold War and a major attraction at the Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park, is in need of permanent repairs to her hull.

The Post cannot think of a civilian site within the SAME Buffalo Post region that has a stronger connection to the Armed Services and, and one so closely aligned with the SAME history and mission, so after the presentation, Buffalo Post President – Nick Tomkins and Post Treasurer- Matt Butwin presented Paul with a $1000 Check Donation to help their “Save The Sullivans” Campaign.
