CAN DO, Inc.

The CAN DO family of volunteers and staff is mourning the loss of one of its longest-serving members, Arthur A. Krause, who died on Monday, March 1.

A lifelong West Hazleton resident, Art was active with CAN DO for decades and served as the agency’s historian.

“Everyone at CAN DO will miss Art. I’ve known and worked with him for more than 30 years. He had a remarkable knowledge of the Hazleton area and a true commitment to improving this region,” said CAN DO President Kevin O’Donnell. “The CAN DO staff joins me in expressing our sincere condolences to his family and friends. Art’s knowledge, guidance and friendship will be missed.”

Greater Hazleton, Pennsylvania, is home to a growing food service industry cluster that has recently been featured in a national magazine.

The December 2009 issue of Global Corporate Xpansion magazine discusses Greater Hazleton in a story entitled “Food Preparation’s Innovations.”

The CAN DO Community Foundation presented the first Joseph Yenchko Awards – scholarships named for the first CAN DO employee – to three area students to attend Ferrwood Music Camp.
