On what would have been the 190th birthday of Paris Gibson, a founding father of the town where we live, the 11th annual Paris Gibson Award was given to one of our congregation’s members. She has done much for this town, and is deserving of the award “established to honor the citizen who best embodies the vision and excellence exemplified by Paris Gibson.”
I was able to attend the ceremony in the park where a tree has been planted in her honor. There were many folks there to cheer her on (she's the one on the right) and she graciously accepted the accolades. And passed along the $500 award to the charity of her choice - local quartet and quintet musicians. Way to go!
Blessings. And prayers.
