Mary has been an avid volunteer for many years. I haven’t heard any no’s while living in Arcadia. She should receive this honor each year!! What a lady!!!
As long as I’ve known Mary (46 years), she has been volunteering for every organization in which she’s been involved. She is a welcoming sight for any event because she’s always lent her talents and skills. She should get this award each year.
This amazing, beautiful lady adds Zest and Joy to every life she touches! Mary, you are an inspiration !
Mary is certainly deserving of this honor! Not only for her tireless volunteerism over the years, but also for her generous donations gifting the city a police dog and the Veterans memorial.
