Members of Unit 360 and Post 360 presented a “Buddy Bench” to the Weatherly Area School District. The bench was placed in the elementary/middle school atrium. The “Buddy Bench” painted in the school colors of orange and black was constructed by Carbon Career and Technical Institute students Madeline Weaver and Alessandro Hernandez under the supervision of carpentry instructor, Jeff Hazleton. The “Buddy Bench” is a place for a student in need of a friend to sit and find a friend. The saying on the bench, “Be someone's reason to smile!” Post 360 members Ray Derossiers and Todd Englehart delivered the bench to the school.
