Community Honors
from Hartford MI |
In
1993, the Hartford Lions Club started an important yearly tradition of
selecting and honoring
a Hartford
Citizen of the Year who made a
significant difference in our community. Grant Hitchcock, a life
member of the Hartford Lions Club was the first Hartford Citizen of the
Year. He was loved and honored by
many for all his hard work and volunteer service to the community.
The first three recipients of the
Grant Hitchcock
Lifetime Achievement Award were
selected in 2006 for their notable service to the Hartford community.
Throughout the years,
there were many members of our community that, for one reason or
another, did not graduate or did not attend Hartford schools, yet, they
made significant contributions to help make Hartford a better place to live. We have ordinary people who are heroes because
their unselfish acts or deeds toward helping others became a priority in their own
lives. It’s time to show our Hartford citizens, and future generations, who they are and
what they’ve done that made them so special.
