The
Southwest Harbor & Tremont Chamber of Commerce is pleased to
announce that Jill Freundlich is the 2014 recipient of our annual
Citizen of the Year Award, which will be presented again this year at
the Quietside Flamingo Festival's Polo and Yacht Club Cocktail Party
to be held on Sunday, July 13th
from 5-7:30pm.
We
usually think of year-round people when choosing our Citizen of the
Year, but even as a “summer resident”, Jill goes above and beyond
what many year-round residents do any given year in helping around
the community. Jill volunteers for the Southwest Harbor Public
Library, where she helps with the summer reading program, helps with
preparations for Summer Story Camp, does seasonal decorations, helps
with events and the annual Quietside Parade, and processes new books
as well as re-shelving books.
For
the Southwest Harbor & Tremont Chamber of Commerce, she works at
the visitor information desk, assisting visitors from all over the US
and the world with area lodging, dining and activity information.
She also helps with special projects, and is one of our loyal cadre
of Oktoberfest volunteers.
Jill
has been one of the most consistent volunteers at the Transfer
Station's Swap Shop donation center. Her positive energy there has
made a big impression on everyone. And she volunteers many hours at
the Common Good Soup Kitchen, doing whatever is needed any given day.
When
you see Jill, please thank her for her years of service and join us
on July 13th
at the Causeway Club for the Polo and Yacht Club Cocktail Party to
help us publicly honor her contributions.
For
more information on joining the party at the Causeway Club on the
13th,
