In our community, we have an organization known as the Old Timer's Athletic Association. Through their efforts of a golf tournament and annual dinner, they raise funds to award scholarships to our local high school graduates who excelled in athletics during their 4 years of high school. They also recognize an individual with their Civic Award. This award is given to an individual who contributes to the betterment of one's community politically, socially, and financially. I am this year's recipient based on my contribution to our community. Born here, raised here, and a lifelong resident. 10-term treasurer of the Municipality, active in the community, and past recipient of other Civic Awards. I am grateful for this award and for being recognized by this organization. I also want to let those there that they share this award with me. Through their own presence, they have contributed socially and financially to prove they believe n the good of the organization and its mission. I also want to say that together we empower this organization to carry out its mission and in turn are able to empower the recipients of their scholarships.
