BINGHAMTON – Six months may seem a long time from now, but plans have been in the works for the 100th American Legion Auxiliary's New York State Convention, since 2018. The national centennial event will be held in Binghamton, July 15 to 18, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel.

The ALA Convention Chairman is Tami Zebrowski-Darrow, of Unit 1645. She is also the Sixth District Representative to the NYS Veterans' Home of Oxford.

Ms. Zebrowski-Darrow has been working diligently with ALA representatives of the Sixth District. The Convention plans include lodging and catering arrangements, commemorative "2020 Binghamton" pins, ALA President's State dinner, a candidates reception, exhibits, an awards ceremony, a memorial service, an executive dinner at the Lost Dog Café, fundraising raffles, and much more.
