Austin Woods donates
AUSTINTOWN -- The residents and staff at Austin Woods Health Care Center, 4780 Kirk Road, recently donated $150 to help the families of firefighters killed in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"A number of the residents at Austin Woods are veterans of World War II or other wars," said Cheryl Palkovic, assistant director of the activities department. "They were upset by the terrorist attack and wanted to do their part to help the families of the victims. So, we placed residents' names on stars for every donation made. We placed the stars on windows in our snack bar and soon filled up four windows."
The donation was presented to William O'Hara, Austintown assistant fire chief, during a music program. The money will be sent to the New York City Fireman's Relief Fund.
