Congratulations to the 2009 Exchange Club Community Champions and their families.  Eileen and I were privileged to share an evening with friends to honor the following Champions:

• Carmine Fidanza – Police Officer of the Year
• Robert J. Froelick – Citizen of the Year
• Todd Gallino – Firefighter of the Year
• Nancy LaGrave – Co-Educator of the Year
• Kathleen Schacht – Co-Educator of the Year

In their own special way, each of this year’s reciptions demonstrates on a daily basis all that is good about Naugatuck.  On good days and bad, these individuals do their job with passion and dedication to their community.  While those in attendance got a chance to hear only a part of each Champion’s respective story, it was evident to all who attended that tonight’s honor represented recognition for a lifetime of hard work, compassion and commitment to Naugatuck. 

Thank you also to the Naugatuck Exchange Club, which once again hosted a first class event.  Over the years the Exchange Club has done an outstanding job helping Naugatuck in many ways and recognizing many individuals deserving of the Community Champion award.
