Cheverly Recognizes Annual
Volunteer Award Winners
As Mayor it is my
honor and privilege to recognize, with consultation from the Town Council, two
citizens or Community Groups whose efforts epitomize the spirit of volunteerism
here in the Town of Cheverly. Volunteerism is the life blood of Cheverly.
While the Town
Government provides great Public Safety and Public Works services it is our
volunteer organizations that makes Cheverly a great place to live. For example;
we are only halfway through May and already volunteer organizations have:
started the Tee-Ball Season, hosted the Weekday Nursery Truck Touch, hosted the
Cheverly Plant Sale, and kicked off the Community Market Season.
What better day to
honor this year’s award winners than on Cheverly Day, where volunteers from the
Community Market and the Cheverly Day Committee have combined their effort to
have one spectacular day.
This year’s winners
are:
Mayor’s Award - Volunteer
of the Year: Steve Brennan and Legion Post #108
Steve Brennan has
led the American Legion’s efforts to create a bond between the Legion and
Cheverly residents. In doing so, Steve has provided Cheverly residents
with numerous opportunities to gather together and meet their neighbors. Cinco
de Mayo, Halfway to St Paddy’s, the Chili Cook-off, a Beach Party and Movie
Night are just a few of the events the Legion opened its doors and invited the
community to join in.
For fostering
community spirit, Steve Brennan is Cheverly’s Volunteer of the Year.
Jack Wheat Award:
Progressive Cheverly
While some may see
Progressive Cheverly as a political organization, it is clearly much more than
that. One service that Progressive Cheverly provides all Cheverly
residents are valuable forums on many different topics of interest. Of
particular value are forums with candidates for elected office and elected
officials.
