B’nai B’rith members will cover the information desks and gift shops that are usually open on Christmas Day at St. Elizabeth Health Center, Forum Health Northside Medical Center, St. Joseph Health Center and Sharon Regional Health System.

Coordinators of the event are Neil and Denise Altman. They may be reached at (330) 261-4868 or (330) 360-2165 and by e-mail at neil@cboss.com or dswaltman@yahoo.com.
