CATTARAUGUS County Chapter

Our Right Thinkers meeting is all about Honoring Our Veterans and we are so fortunate to have an illustrious panel who will surely produce an interesting event.

The Right Thinkers monthly meeting (since July 2020) is now held at "The Hall" in Allegany (the former high school). Parking and the entrance is around the back of the building on the far corner. The doors will open by 5 o'clock for "Meet and Greet" (and pizza) and the meeting will start at 6 with a prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the National Anthem. Then the panelists will take center stage and provide their responses to the questions provided (see attached). Before the evening ends there will be an opportunity for the attendees to comment or question the panelists.

Our impressive panel for the event will be:
General Arthur Austin - a resident of Cuba and very active in promoting the military and veterans wherever possible. He is sure to make an impression with his history and dedication.

General Chris Eddy - born and raised in Olean, now running for Congress in Florida -also with a distinguished career. He is making the trip north to be part of our event.

SFC Steve Appleby - Also raised in our area and a busy man promoting veteran's history in local schools. He is currently the curator of the World War II museum in Eldred.

Dr. Nicholas Waddy - A history professor at Alfred State. Although he is not a military veteran, he educates college students about America's history and the important role the military and our veterans have played for many years.
