At the Annual Meeting on October 7th, the Richard “Dick” J. Edmonston award was made in grateful honor of his incredible generosity to the works and mission of AYFS. Those funds were deposited into the AYFS’ endowment fund of the Greater Worcester Community Foundation, the goal being to provide long-term benefit to those we serve.

Pictured is Deb Gremo and Karen and Dennis Witowski, beloved friends of Dick for over 50 years!

Mike Villa, AYFS Board member and ex officio President, made the award at the Annual Meeting, sharing a bit about Dick who loved golfing at Pakachoag golf course, loved books and libraries…and loved AYFS, too.

We are eternally grateful for his generosity!

Annually, the Ben Masterman Award is given to a business that exemplifies the spirit of giving demonstrated by the late Ben Masterman who founded Masterman's with his wife. This year's award was given to O'Connell, Roche & Wrenn and it was so very well deserved as they are generous to AYFS, but also active in many other civic organizations, exemplifying charitable giving from deep in their hearts.

Pictured is Pam Baribeault from Masternan's who made the award presentation, along with award recipients Scott Wrenn and Meghan Roche (missing is Phil O’Connell and their entire team).

THANK YOU for all you do for AYFS, O'Connell, Roche & Wrenn, along with other deserving organizations!

✨At the Annual Meeting each year, two awards are given to deserving individuals/organizations. This year the Children’s Friend Award was given to Victor Paille and his partner Deb Kesseli. Steve Small, AYFS Board President, presented the award, with Senator Mike Moore and Representative Paul Frost presenting each with citations.

💙Victor and Deb are so humble and so very generous! As Victor said, “I am a simple man with simple means…I wish I had more to give.”

✨For several years, they have donated over 100 turkeys for our Holiday Giving Program (!!) and they are ongoing contributors to the emergency food pantry!

THANK YOU, Victor and Deb, for all you do and congratulations!
