MASSENA -- Representatives from Amvets Post 4 recently presented Wounded Warriors Outdoor Adventures with an Action Trackchair.

The device is a specially designed wheelchair that allows people with disabilities to travel on terrain that regular motorized wheelchairs cannot access.

Amvets teamed with Mariano’s Pizza in Lyons Falls to raise the money for the chair. Post 4 also presented WWOA with two golf carts that have been refitted to transport Wounded Warriors. They will be first used this coming weekend to help vets get around at the Bassmaster Elite Series tournament in Waddington.

Post 4 used money raised at their annual Base Camp Serenity Open golf tournaments to purchase the Trackchair and golf carts. Over the past two years, proceeds from the golf tournament have also been used to purchase two boat motors and ice fishing equipment.

The ice fishing equipment was bought to outfit an ice shack designed and built by Massena Central High School students in teacher Steve Robert’s technology classes. When Seacomm Federal Credit Union President Scott Wilson heard about the project from his son, the credit union donated the cost of the shack’s building materials.
