I am honored and humbled by being named 2009 Citizen of the Year and, to be honest, a little embarrassed. To be mentioned alongside Bob Clarke and Marcus Ford — who have served and protected the community environmentally for many years — and to be considered in the same sentence as my dear friend of late, Pam Rowell — someone who defined “public service” in Pembroke for me — is truly an honor. |

Last Sunday, Pembroke Youth Football and Cheerleading held their annual banquet. This is something players and cheerleaders look forward to all season. Sitting in the banquet hall, the importance of this and the many community programs offered in Pembroke was clear. Whether it is youth football, Pop Warner, soccer, hockey or the Pembroke middle and high school sports and drama programs, they all bring our community together. We in Pembroke are quite fortunate to live in a community where our many residents give of their time and talents to bring our kids and community many sports and non-sports options. |
