(Times Argus)
October 12, 2009
A group of outstanding community volunteers will be
honored this Thursday when the Knights of Columbus Hall hosts the 28th
annual Community Service Recognition Night. The evening begins at 6 p.m.
with a social hour, cash bar and hors d'oeuvres. The recipients of this
year's awards will be welcomed into the hall at 6:45 p.m. by piper Ian
Gauthier, accompanied by representatives of the four Barre service clubs,
the Altrusa, Kiwanis, Lions and Rotary. At 7 p.m., a dinner of mostaccioli
and chicken will be served.
Master of Ceremonies Hans Asoera will
be accompanied by Gov. James Douglas as they present certificates to this
year's honorees: Linda Babic, Linda Boyce, Maurice Fortier, Sr., Patricia
Meriam, and Nancy Pope. Tickets for the dinner are just $16 per person and
may be purchased at the Aldrich Public Library or from service club
members (or call for reservations at 476-7550.)
The Joint Service
Clubs' Annual Community Service Recognition Night is unique to Barre. The
dinner was first held in 1982 as a means of honoring individuals who have
provided years of unsung service to the Barre area and its people, working
long and hard behind the scenes for the betterment of Barre. Proceeds from
the dinner benefit the Aldrich Library, and a copy of each honoree's
community service commendation is kept in a set of permanent albums in the
library's archives.
The Community Recognition Award Dinner is
sponsored by the service clubs of Barre. From 1982 through 1992, the
chairman of the event was Joseph B. Calcagni. Since that time the
sponsoring clubs have taken turns chairing the event each year. This
year's event has been planned by representatives from the four service
clubs, including Maria and Mia Beede of Altrusa; Nancy Gale of Kiwanis;
Harry Hinrichsen from the Lions Club; and Carol Dawes and Karen Lane of
Rotary. This year's club sponsor is the Kiwanis Club.
