Two Public Service Awards were presented during the Carroll Chamber Of Commerce’s annual banquet last Thursday evening, one of them going to Vicki Gach from the Carroll Historic Preservation Commission for her efforts to protect, preserve, and share Carroll’s storied history. Program emcee Tim Fitzpatrick explains the qualities that embody Public Service Award winners.
Ann Fitzpatrick introduced Gach to the crowd as this year’s winner, saying her accomplishments while serving on the Preservation Commission aren’t history, as she had other goals yet to reach.
Gach says her interest in Carroll’s history started later in her life when she was asked to join the preservation commission.
Other award recipients from the 60th annual Carroll Chamber of Commerce banquet include: Dave Bruner (Citizen of the Year); Cindy and Tom Bordenaro, Bordenaro’s Meat Market (New Business); Todd and Roger “Chico” Kanne, Community Oil (Heritage Business); Larry Devine, Carroll Times Herald (Public Service); Katie Kruse (Humanitarian); and Scott and Cindy Heider, Heider Family Foundation (Good Neighbor). Carroll Broadcasting will have more from these award winners in upcoming newscasts.
