Joe Barrett Honored By Sunland-Tujunga Neighborhood Council

MayorSam Blogger, NHDC Founder and Chairman Joe Barrett was recently honored with "The President's Award" by the Sunland-Tujunga Neighborhood Council. Outgoing STNC president Cindy Cleghorn made the presentation at the May 14th STNC meeting. Joe was unable to attend, so the award was accepted by the lovely Abby Diamond on his behalf.

From Ms. Cleghorns speech:

This next person I wish to recognize is someone we all know and love. His dedication to our community has put him through many challenges, obstacles, difficult situations, laughter, tears, stress and fears. He's become well known in many circles but his drive for improving our quality of life will forever be a part of the history of Sunland-Tujunga. He is a determined, community volunteer who has the support of thousands of people - I'd like to extend this President's Award to Joe Barrett.

The people of Sunland-Tujunga know it; his fellow Burros and readers of MayorSam know it; and now it's time for the rest of Los Angeles to know it: Joe Barrett is a dedicated, caring and wise citizen of this city and we need a lot more like him around these parts. We're all so very proud of you Joe, and thankful to you for all of your efforts on behalf of the people of Sunland-Tujunga!
