Youngstown Veterans Association Clinic receives donation

The Reserve Officers Association League and the Mahoning Chapter OH-42 of the Reserve Officers Association recently donated $1,000 to the Youngstown Veterans Association Clinic to help purchase a new “Veterans Helping Veterans” van for the clinic and received a framed certificate of appreciation. The van is used to transport veterans from Mahoning County to the Lewis Stokes Cleveland VA Hospital. Funds were raised during a Christmas charity auction banquet. The ROAL has donated to the USO Lounge at the Youngstown Air Reserve Station in Vienna, Fisher House, Wounded Warrior Project, the YARS Base Community Council and the Youngstown VA Clinic. The Mahoning Valley Chapter OH-42 of the ROA will meet with members of the ROAL at 5 p.m. Thursday at The Manor restaurant, 3104 S. Canfield-Niles Road, Austintown. For information, call Col. Walter Duzzny at 330-744-4490. Above, from left are Barbara Stamp, president of the ROAL; Bonita Rasile, secretary of the ROAL; and Col. Duzzny, president of the Mahoning Chapter 42, ROA.
