Yesterday afternoon at The Center the Medfield Foundation volunteer awards reception was held to fete and celebrate the ten extraordinary Medfield volunteers suggested for recognition this year by fourteen different residents. DCAMM Commissioner Carole Cornelison deadpanned about John Thompson, that at first she was not aware that he actually had a job, because she saw him so much at so many meeting related to the Medfield State Hospital environmental clean up. For the past couple of years John has spent 10-20 hours per week dealing with that MSH clean up for the Town of Medfield.
Kathy Brennan, one of the event organizers commented that “this uplifting event celebrated the inspirational volunteers who represent just a small sample of the good work done by so many good people in Medfield. As Anne Frank once said: ‘How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.’ You can make a difference.”
See Colleen Sullivan’s blog post and photos on Patch for more detail.
This observer found the stories by the volunteers to be both moving and inspirational, and highly recommends looking for the replay of the reception on Medfield.TV, so you too can learn just what remarkable things your neighbors are effecting.
