| Chris Dollar-Simmons, Andy Berreth and Elias Anthan |
Every year neighborhoods across the city honor the people in their areas who have been doing volunteer work that supports the community. This year District 1 honored Elias Anthan, Pastor Andy Berreth, and the Conway Booster Club. Elias has been cleaning up the Eastview neighborhood, trying to set a good example as someone who cares enough to pick up after others. He picks up litter every day as he walks his dog and is a member of the City's "Come Clean" program. Pastor Andy Berreth is the former pastor of Faith Alliance Church. He served on the D1 board for 4 years and was instrumental in organizing the community-wide National Night Out celebrations, including last year's lollapolooza at Conway. The Conway Booster Club has been developing the sports programs at Conway and has supported the second largest football program in the City. They are also working with us on planning for Conway's future.
Here are links to a short and long version of what the celebration was like.
Kathy Lantry delivers the award, and we heard from the Mayor and from district council representatives. There was a delightful buffet put on by St. Thomas University -- this event is always a great place to hear what is happening in the city by all the residents who are working to make a difference.
If you know someone who is doing great work, but may be operating under the radar, let us know. We always want to thank people for their efforts!!
