Our recipient is unique.  She joined to volunteer in the community even though she had no affiliation with anyone within the department.  She demonstrates a positive attitude and a readiness to help out in all aspects of the auxiliary- breakfasts, dinners and sink duty and whenever possible at association functions- Fire Prevention Week and rehabs. 

 She always smiles even though people can’t see her face because she prefers to work mostly behind the scene.  She can be called at a minutes notice and be ready to work in whatever capacity is needed.

Her other activities and community participation include the Colonie Elks, Hospice volunteer, her church, and Beltrone Colonie Seniors.  Being active in local politics, most of you have probably seen her at the polls or Sign Review Board.  She is very involved with her family and all their activities.  Congratulations to this year's recipient Pat Miller.
