Volunteer Recognition

Sunday, January 22, 2012

Each year we recognize and celebrate the contributions of the past year's volunteers. Their efforts lie at the very success of the organization.

2011 Awardees:

Denise Schwartz
Joe Rosenthal
Trina Weingarten

2010 Awardees:

Jo-Ann & Joe Cali, for exceeding expectations for the 2009 Jubilee and Taste of Lawrenceville and bringing fresh ideas and working with a cooperative effort.
Vince Scozzari, for personal commitment and long time volunteer service; continuous improvements with parking lot renovations and lighting project for Weeden Park.
Ellen Saxon, for leadership as the Chairperson of the Landscape Committee and the vital role of moving the committee's efforts forward within the values of Lawrenceville Main Street.
Mikey Azzara, for positive influence as past President of Lawrenceville Main Street and operational excellence as Chairman of the Famers Market.

The William Mayhew Dickey Award

The William Mayhew Dickey Award is given to a member of the Lawrenceville community who exemplifies, through leadership and dedicated service, the attributes of "Will" Dickey, founder of Lawrenceville Main Street.

Dickey Award. Awarded in January 2010 to Mary and Bill Schroeder. Mary and Bill (right and left in picture, speaking with Jean Dickey, center, at the ceremony) have been volunteers of Lawrenceville Main Street since its inception in 1995.

It is very fitting that they should be the first recipients of this award. Mary has been in charge of the "Bucket Brigade," taking care of the flowers in the planters along Main Street, and as a loyal member of the fabulous Landscape Committee.

She is the go-to person for arranging flower displays at the Taste of Lawrenceville, House Tour and other events held during the year.

Bill is the "heavy lifter" of Lawrenceville Main Street. Climbing the ladder to put up the Christmas decorations on the light poles, cutting out hearts for Valentine Day decorations and taking an active role in Weeden Park keeps Bill busy during the year.

Winners will receive a special award, and their names will be placed on a plaque in the Dickey Room.

2009 Awardees:

Bill Azzara, for enthusiastic support and hard work at our Farmers Market.
Jennifer Nelson, co-chair of our Jubilee and contributor to other Main Street successes.
Skip Conover, Treasurer of Lawrenceville Main Street, for extended service and wise counsel in support of our advancement.
Matt McChesney, responsible for the TEA-21 grant improvements that have so improved the appearance of Main Street.

2008 Awardees: Devin Cheifetz, Madeline Monheit, Art Schonheiter, and Jim Alexander.
