Members of the Baden American Legion Post 641 Ladies Auxiliary will be on hand seeking donations for the Memorial Poppy, with the proceeds to benefit Veterans of all wars living in the area. In addition, an Honor Tree will be on display first at the Baden Library during the Memorial Day Parade which begins at 10:00 A.M., and then at the Baden American Legion on State Street following the ceremonies. Anyone interested in honoring a Veteran, living or deceased, by placing a memorial tag on the Honor Tree will be able to do so. Donations will be accepted. Following the Memorial Day festivities, the Honor Tree will move to the lobby of the Baden Borough Building.
In addition there will be a limited amount of Poppy Seeds available for planting in your garden. The donation for the Poppy Seeds is $3.
Thank you for supporting our Veterans, past and present.
