Winston-Dillard honors top citizens
Walt Taylor accepts First Citizen award at Winston-Dillard Chamber of Commerce banquet Monday night By KPIC-TV StaffWINSTON, Ore. - Two people in the Winston area were honored as citizens of the year last night for their contributions to the community in front of a sold-out crowd at the Winston Community Center. MultimediaThe Winston Dillard Area Chamber of Commerce's 32nd annual First Citizens Banquet recognized the top man and woman in the community, an anti-drug group of young people for their civic contribution, and they gave out a humanitarian award to a woman who organized the local farmers' market, plus they recognized two student first citizens. This year's female First Citizen was Nancy Beiter for her involvement in community and volunteer organizations. "I do not deserve this award," said Beiter. "I do not do any more than most of the people in this community, but I thank you from the very bottom of my heart. I moved to Winston full time about 6 years ago, and I've definitely found the community of my heart." The male First Citizen for 2010 was Walt Taylor, who is known for his kindness and generosity, and serving on several boards, as well as playing the Taps for many military funerals and memorial services. Two Douglas High School seniors were honored as Student First Citizens. The female was Megan Smith, who has a 4.0 grade point average. The male was Matt Williams who has 3.95 accumulative G.P.A. for his high school career. Jill MacGregor was named Humanitarian of the Year, for her work in making the Winston-Dillard Farmers Market a success. |
