I’d like to nominate Kathryn Batchelder, my neighbor across the street. As a senior citizen, I’ve been trying to stay at home as much as possible. Kathryn regularly calls me to see if I need anything and she has brought me things from the store many times. She’s busy herself; keeping 3 kids entertained is a full-time job in itself! But she’s just so sweet and caring, always looking out for others. Thanks so much Kathryn!!

Thank you for doing this. I know you pick randomly, so it doesn’t matter why I am making this nomination. Nonetheless, I would like to share a few reasons for my nomination of Earl Sheldon Hunt. First, he was once a very active member of the Georgetown community. After his wife passed away, he began volunteering at the Essex County Correctional Facility. He served almost full time as a volunteer, bringing much joy to the hearts of countless inmates. He also was an active volunteer helping men post-release. He’s driven more men to more courthouse or treatment programs than we can count. Every Sunday, he filled his van with anyone in need of a ride to church – not to mention the many rides he provided to single moms or the elderly who had to get to a doctor appointment or super market. He volunteered with the homeless. He volunteered anywhere he could be of service. Now, with his health leaving him in need of daily care, he lives at a facility in Haverhill and is without visits due to the virus. A bouquet of flowers would bring a needed smile. And, knowing Sheldon, he’d be sure all the ladies and nurses on his floor received a flower from the bunch.
I would like to nominate Kathleen Tarullo. She has been battling breast cancer since last July. She just finished her chemo and now she has to start rediation. She has lost all her hair and trying to keep positive. She will not finish her treatments till January 2021. She has been very strong and the flowers would be a real pick me up. It has been a long battle.
Noreen Berkland, a dedicated member of Garden Friends of Georgetown, selflessly gives a huge amount of time and effort to raise enough money to pay for the beautiful hanging baskets that adorn our downtown area. As a lover of flowers and service to the community, she definitely deserves one of your special arrangements.
