Barbara Meinhold
2007 Hall of Fame Inductee
Barbara joined the Pioneers in 1981, and from 1982-1990 served as
Publicity chair and secretary of the Western Frontier Council. She went
on to lead the life member club and chair several committees. She
oversaw the painting of playground maps at seven schools in the Buffalo
and Niagara Falls areas, belonged to the clown troupe for 10 years, and
participated in the Kids Escaping Drugs program, Camp Good Days, and
Special Times for children with cancer. She taught immersion programs at
Amherst Museum. Barbara teaches religious education to fourth and fifth
graders and is a teacher's aid for BOCES (for physically and mentally
challenged children). Barbara promotes the Pioneer store and actively
solicits donations for the Buffalo life member Chinese Auction and

Richard. Barbara, with her great enthusiasm, encourages others to
volunteer, willingly assists at the Executive Board meetings, and feels
that if a project has merit, "We can do it; no excuses."
