Buffalo Central Terminal

We would like to take this opportunity to thank those who have helped, thus far, by making donations to our cause. To date, the Plaque Fund has reached 78.8% of it’s goal. Thanks to the thoughtful assistance of Dennis Wagner and Wagner Monuments of Cheektowaga, the plaque has been completed and installed in time for the Central Terminal’s 80th anniversary celebration, scheduled for June 27th, 2009. With out their help, and the help of the CTRC Board, our plaque would not have been ready in time.

We still need your help. Please join us in celebrating one of Buffalo’s finest landmarks. Become a part of the 80th anniversary. Direct your donations to Plaque Fund, Buffalo Central Terminal Restoration Corporation, PO Box 468, Buffalo N.Y. 14212; and please note “Plaque Fund” on your checks. You may also donate online, using the PayPal link below.

Thank you for your thoughts and dedication to the Terminal and this meaningful project.
Sincerely.
Larry Schwindler
