OCA begins disbursing balance of 9/11 appeal monies


NEW YORK, NY [OCA Communications] -- At their 2008 Spring meeting, the OCA's Metropolitan Council unanimously passed a motion mandating the OCA central administration to "begin disbursing the balance of the 9/11 appeal monies collected (after the 2001 terrorist attacks in New York, NY, and Washington, DC), with the first $25,000 being disbursed as a general line item this fiscal year." On Wednesday, July 23, 2008, Archpriest Daniel Degyansky presented the New York Interfaith Disaster Services [NYDIS] with a check in the amount of $25,000.00 from the Orthodox Church in America. Father Daniel is a charter member of NYDIS.

The donation is designated for the NYC 9/11 Unmet Needs Roundtable, which addresses the needs of victims, survivors, families, and recovery workers affected by the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
