Celebrate Berlin! Award Co-Chairs Named
Two local community leaders have been named as co-chairs of the selection committee to choose the recipient of this year’s Community Foundation of Greater New Britain Celebrate Berlin! award, part of the Foundation’s four-town Celebrate Our Communities! community service awards program in Berlin, New Britain, Plainville and Southington.
The awards will honor one outstanding grassroots volunteer in each community, and a local charity of the honoree’s choice.
