2009 Distinguished Citizens

The Distinguished Citizen Award is bestowed upon individuals who have demonstrated integrity and genuine concern for others in both their professional and personal lives. The recipients need not have been Scouts but  must carry the “Spirit of Scouting” into their adult lives. They are people who have been unselfish in their service to others...on an individual and community basis. They seek no return for their service, other than the satisfaction of aiding their fellow citizens, their community, and their nation. The Distinguished Citizens are people who truly capture the respect and imagination of our youth.

Daniel R. Harrington	State Rep. Brian S. Dempsey

Daniel R. Harrington and State Representative Brian S. Dempsey have been very active in their support of our community. Each has made numerous contributions both as professionals and volunteers through their personal involvement and caring for the well being of our neighbors.

For this reason the Yankee Clipper Council, Boy Scouts of America has chosen to honor Daniel Harrington and State Rep. Brian Dempsey, as recipients of the coveted Distinguished Citizen Award for 2009. To show our support for Daniel and Brian, we would very much appreciate your celebrating their achievements by attending this dinner reception at DiBurro’s Function Facilities. We are sure you'll enjoy the evening.

At the same time, your support will provide crucial funds for the continued growth of Scouting. Proceeds from this important community event will provide services to youth such as camping programs, camping facilities, scholarships, leadership training courses and program materials.

Sincerely, William Klueber   2009 Dinner Chairman
