honored
PUTNAM — Nominated by the Putnam Rotary Club, Putnam resident Marcy Dawley recently received the Rotary District 7890 Paul Harris Fellow award. In his introduction Putnam Rotarian Paul Pikora said Dawley, a project administrator and lead ranger for The Last Green Valley, “is a ubiquitous presence in the community, and can be seen at virtually all community events. She is a tireless volunteer, the quintessential volunteer, with an infectious enthusiasm and an effervescent presence.”
He added Dawley’s manager said she is an “amazing addition to the team,” a “Putnam-maniac,” one who takes an incredible amount of pride in her community.”
He said Dawley takes part in regular “Beautification Days” in town, walking along heavily traveled Providence Street in Putnam and picking up what others have discarded, dressed in hilarious costume while handing out candy to excited children during the town’s annual “Trick or Treat” night, donating her time and garden vegetables to the local food bank, organizing awareness events such as Cancer Walks, and/or simply always looking for ways to improve the quality of life for both the community and its residents. He said she’s been described as an inspirational and positive influence in the student community.
Pikora noted that Dawley personifies the Rotary motto of “Service Above Self.”
N. GROSVENORDALE — TEEG is launching a new program for parents titled Focus on Family. Using community “experts” as presenters, TEEG is hoping to spark a conversation about issues that are affecting families locally.
With topics including Opiate Issues in our Community, Home & Health, and Youth & Social Media, there is sure to be rich discussion in which parents can learn from one another in a supportive environment. Sessions will be held monthly at the TEEG building on Wednesday evenings from 5 to 6:30. A free meal will be provided. TEEG staff is encouraging everyone to come for the food, and stay for the conversation.
This series is designed to help the community work together to raise awareness, share feedback and work towards solving problems. For more information, as well as session dates please contact Susan Kershaw-Sczuroski at 860-923-3458 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
