Honor Roll A Big Success!

D1 honorees Carol Lewis (and grandson), Jay Sliwinski (and son), and Laura Heiman, along with Kathy Lantry.

On Friday, January 21, residents from all over the city of Saint Paul met at St. Thomas University to celebrate the work of volunteers in our neighborhoods. For a cold, snowy and windy night, it was a great chance for heart-warming acknowledgement of what makes our city so great!!

Deputy Mayor, Paul Williams, read a proclamation from the Mayor, declaring the day Neighborhood Honor Roll Day. Kathy Lantry also read a proclamation from the City Council and then she awarded the certificates of appreciation to the honorees. Santa was the emcee!!

In addition to this lovely reception, the names of all the honorees are engraved on plaques outside City Council Chambers - these are a history of who has been working hard to build up our community.

So, if you know someone who should be honored next year, pass on their name. We also have a nomination form on our website under the Get Involved drop-down, Neighborhood Awards...
