CANFIELD – At the January meeting of Canfield American Legion Post 177, Appreciation Plaques were presented to Sam Pitzulo (Pitzulo Homes & Remodeling) and Dave Centofanti and Mark Graham (James & Coralie Centofanti Charitable Foundation) in recognition of their generous contributions to the post’s flagpole project. At the February Post meeting, a third plaque was also presented to Kathleen Johnson, Molly Johnson and Nils Peter Johnson (Nils and Janet Johnson Foundation) for their generous contribution to the project. The 60-foot flagpole will be erected on the north end of The Green in Spring 2020.

Scott Bennett and Dispatcher Jenny Wright (recommended by Canfield Police Chief Chuck Colucci); and Cardinal Joint Fire District Deputy Chief Matt Rarick and Captain Troy Kolar (recommended by CJFD Chief Don Hutchison).
