On October 23, PEACE, Inc. held an Appreciation Open House at Frank DeFrancisco Eastwood Community Center. The event acknowledged those Onondaga County and New York State Funds used to pursue a full roof replacement, sections of brickwork repair around the roof and entrance of the building, and the installation of new floors in the building’s mezzanine. Thank you, Onondaga County Office of Aging Services and State Senator Mannion’s Office, for joining us.

Thanks also to the Maintenance and Eastwood teams that coordinated and navigated the complicated work. Most importantly, PEACE, Inc. leaders expressed their appreciation to the Eastwood Seniors for their patience and flexibility this summer during extended closures.
