Babylon’s own, Saffron United Pipe Band, led by Pipe Major Bob Farrell, recently
celebrated their 62nd anniversary. The anniversary was celebrated at the AOH Hall / Irish Cultural Center here in Babylon Village at the 62nd annual Piper’s Ball. Recently, the band was featured in two veteran events. The band performed at Islip MacArthur Airport for the return of our military
veterans from Washington, DC aboard Honor Flight Long Island. Pipe Major Farrell said, “it’s a privilege to perform for those men and women that return home from spending their day in our Nation’s capital”. The Honor Flight organization offers veterans a full day in Washington,

Legislator McCaffrey Recognizes Joanne Marquardt Of The Babylon Breast Cancer Coalition
During the November 19th General Meeting of the Suffolk County Legislature, legislators paused to recognize nonprofit organizations’ volunteers for their dedication to the betterment of our communities. Serving as Legislator McCaffrey’s honoree from the 14th Legislative District was Joanne Marquardt, a Board Member and a Research Advocate for the Babylon Breast Cancer Coalition. Joanne, a 20-year survivor of breast cancer and a 13-year survivor of colon cancer, is a retired science teacher and determined advocate for breast cancer research and access to care for those in treatment.
Her advocacy began in 2009 with the West Islip Breast Cancer Coalition and transitioned to the Babylon Breast Cancer Coalition in
2020. As a Board Member she participated in fund raising to support the services provided to those in treatment. Since 2017 she has served informally as an advocate consultant with several breast cancer laboratories at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. In that capacity she provides the patient/
advocate perspective in research and grant proposals. She also serves as the Long Island Field Coordinator for the National Breast Cancer Coalition and has also served multiple times as a Consumer Reviewer in the Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program.
DC. An Honor Flight brings the community together to thank these veterans with an all-expenses paid trip to Washington DC to see their memorials and to experience a full day of honor and thanks for their service.
On November 11th, Saffron United Pipe Band took part in the Babylon
Village Veteran’s Day Parade. The annual parade, hosted by Babylon’s American Legion Post 94, was very well attended by village residents, elected officials and many school bands and local organizations. Pipe Major Farrell said, “participating in this parade, in our hometown village of
Babylon, is our way to giving back and to say thank you to all our veterans”.
Saffron United Pipe Band was founded in 1962 at the Ancient Order of Hibernians in America, Suffolk County’s St. Patrick’s Division 2 in Babylon, Long Island. The band is celebrating their 62nd anniversary in 2024.

“It is so important for us to provide our senior citizens with the assistance and information they need in ways that are most convenient to them. These visits allow our seniors to connect with our County’s

Volunteer Group Raises $250,000 - Sponsors 41 Service Dogs To Assist Vets
A local group of 30 dedicated volunteers just surpassed the $250,000 donated milestone, sponsoring 41 highly trained service dogs thus far to assist our Veterans and first responders in need.
“Friends of America’s Vet Dogs” was established in 2015 with the sole mission of helping our Veterans
have a better life by getting them a service dog free of charge. The all-volunteer non-profit community service group does this through America’s Vet Dogs, a 501c3 located in Smithtown.
Each dog sponsored by the group, which was founded by Sayville residents Cliff Miller and
Patricia Summers, is carefully named to honor an unsung hero of our military, someone who brought great credit to our military, or to recognize someone / someplace that significantly helped a Veteran in need. One of the group’s sponsored dogs, Sully, served President George H. W. Bush until his
death, and now continues to serve Veterans every day at Walter Reed Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
“Friends of America’s Vet Dogs” was honored by the staff and CEO of America’s Vet Dogs John Miller at their Smithtown facility this week for reaching the $250,000 milestone. There
are 30 active members of the group, which raises awareness and funding for the crucial service with an annual Chinese Auction event, hosting information tables at community events, holding other fundraiser events and by speaking at local libraries, labor uMembers of the group are hopeful they will be able to
sponsor their 42nd service dog by year’s end. They can be reached by writing to: Friends of America’s Vet Dogs, Attention Cliff Miller, PO Box 18, Bohemia, NY 11716-0018 or by email at vetdogs@ aol.com Donations are tax deductible and checks should be made payable to America’s Vet Dogs.
John Miller, CEO of America’s Vet Dogs and Guide Dog Foundation, addresses and thanks volunteer group “Friends of America’s Vet Dogs”.
