Coffee house dedicated in activist's memory

A dedication ceremony in memory of Melissa Reed Chudy will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. at The Coffeehouse, inside the Independent Health Youth & Family Center.

The drug-free meeting place for teenagers, located at 5005 Sheridan Drive, Williamsville, is staffed and managed by local youth who have an ongoing interest in small-business management.

Mrs. Reed Chudy was a dedicated, passionate woman whose desire to help young people was a driving force in her life. She was loved by many and strongly supported the area youth.
