Over 120 Northside
residents and community members gathered together to honor fellow
neighbors at the Fifth Annual North Star Awards on December 7
at Warner Park Community Recreation Center.
Each year,
the North Star Awards honor Northside residents and organizations
that make the Northside community a better place to live. Recipients
are nominated by fellow community members.
The awards
recognize those who take pride in their neighborhood by contributing
time and effort to help neighbors and strengthen community. This
unique community celebration highlights the dedication of those
whose contributions often go unnoticed or unrecognized.
This year’s
awards presenter was Northside resident John Quinlan (host of
Forward Forum). Piano entertainment was by Stephanie Rearick (who
is also the Dane County Timebank Director and Coordinator). "Olin",
a Mexican children folk ballet troupe, performed traditional Mexican
dances.
