NORWICH — CorePlus Federal Credit Union recently held its fourth “Unsung Heroes Recognition” event on WINY Radio’s Morning Show with host “Gary O” in Putnam.
This popular event has members of the listening audience call in to name an ‘unsung hero’ in their community or someone who may have had a special impact on their life so that that person might receive recognition as an “Unsung Hero”.
For every call received, CorePlus then donates $25 towards the local charity of the caller’s choice in the hero’s name.
Calls came into the station from 6 to 9 a.m. and were answered by four members of the CorePlus team: Putnam Service Manager Meg Popiak, Loan Zone Service Manager Elizabeth Zachow, Putnam Assistant Service Manager LisaBeth Adamick and Director of Marketing, Susan Dombrowski.
One-hundred forty seven callers named their unsung heroes, and $3675 total was donated to 79 local non-profit and charitable organizations.
Each caller was asked to explain why the person named was their hero and then each hero was recognized “on the air” by Warren Scholl, president and CEO of CorePlus Credit Union, and host Gary Osbrey.
Through the “Unsung Hero Recognition” campaign, CorePlus has donated over $13,500 to local charities over the past four years, honoring 540 local heroes.

raises money
PUTNAM — The Putnam Lions’ Dog Walk to support the NEADS “ Canines for Combat Veterans,” held Sept. 7, raised thousands. The Putnam Lions to date have raised over $2,400 this year for NEADS and over $15,000 since the event’s inception in 2009.
A wide variety of dog breeds and dog owners showed up to aid the cause. They received information from Woodstock Veterinary Clinic; sampled treats from The BowWow Bakery at Victoria Station; listened to the Frog Rock Trio and greeted Putnam Police K-9 officer Michael Termini and Putnam K-9 Aron.
Also on hand were students from the Bancroft School of Pet Massage offering free pet massages and Our Companions Rescue.
The event culminated with a one and half mile walk along the Putnam River Trail.
NEADS ( National Education for Assistance Dog Services) of Princeton, Mass., provides a wide variety of trained service dogs to veterans and others at no cost and have graduated over 55 dogs for their combat veterans program.
The Lions thanked the community for their generosity and this year’s major sponsors, Brooklyn Cares, Citizens National Bank, The BowWow Bakery at Victoria Station, Linemaster Switch, Putnam Bank and Wheelabrator Inc. as well as the Canterbury Lions Club for their support.
