Good morning, Medford, Tuesday, June 30
A well-know figure in the Medford business community who is a regular volunteer at the Senior Center has been named a Community All-Star by Mystic Valley Elder Services.
Congratulations are in order this morning for Rosemary Ardagna.
Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) awarded Ardagna the Community All-Star Award for Medford. The awards program recognizes individuals whose efforts make a difference in the lives of older adults and people with disabilities.
Ardagna was honored on June 4 along with the other 10 Community All Stars, each representing a municipality the organization serves.
She volunteers at fundraising events, participates in local organizations, and serves weekly at the Senior Center. She is a Medford Chamber of Commerce director at large and serves on the Medford Jingle Bell Festival Committee, which organizes the annual festival to raise money to support adult day health services in Medford.
Many of you may also know Rosemary as the owner of Clay Dreams, a pottery studio that offers workshops and classes for adults and children.
Congratulations, Rosemary.
