Valley's selfless honored

BOARDMAN — Recipients of the 2008 Valley Legacy Awards embody the spirit of the Mahoning Valley, that of working selflessly for the betterment of all, said Kurt Sauer, president of the Shepherd of the Valley Board of Directors.

“They seek no compensation or accolades but are constantly seeking opportunities to be of service to their communities, churches, families and senior citizens throughout the Valley,” said Sauer, whose organization is a major sponsor of the Valley Legacy Awards.

Six awards, four for Outstanding Senior and two for Outstanding Advocate for Seniors, were presented during an awards luncheon this week. Eighteen people were nominated for the awards.
