BUFFALO, N.Y.
(WIVB) - Representatives from 20 local groups dedicated a brand new, $8,000 ice
cream machine to the
Veterans Hospital on Bailey Avenue in Buffalo Wednesday night.
Richard Donn
of Ken-Ton Elks #1492 said, "This is one little thing that we can do for
them. Ice cream doesn't seem like much but it brings a smile on their face and
we have volunteers who won't give it up."
This ice cream
tradition was started in the 1980s by a WWII veteran looking to bring some
comfort to his comrades. But the old machine broke, so local Legion groups and
Elks organizations stepped in to replace it.
