Past Club President Receives Citizen of the Year Award
Fredericksburg, VA...............................1923
This past December, Kiwanis Club of Roanoke Past President Dr. Cheri Hartman was awarded the prestigious Roanoke City Citizen of the Year citation in recognition of outstanding service to the City. The event took place at a city council meeting where Cheri thought she was to present the next Kiwanis signature project in partnership with the city, a Kiwanis Nature Park to be located next to Kiwanis Centennial Playground. The ploy was to get her to the meeting along with many supporting Kiwanians. Her script, ready to go, was never presented and she was taken completely by surprise. The council recognized a long list of her achievements including co-chairperson of the Kiwanis Centennial Playground whereby she was instrumental in raising over $425,000, leading Kiwanis “Readers Today, Leaders Tomorrow” program for young students, and cochair of Roanoke Kiwanis’s next signature project, a Kiwanis Nature Park located in an underserved neighborhood in the city. Cheri has been a strong advocate for the welfare and education of the city’s children. In the playground project, she made sure the children provided input for what they wanted to see in the playground. As the nature park has developed, youth have been asked to lay out plastic to kill the grass. She also solicited input from the children to identify wildflowers and other elements of the nature park. Her modus operandi is to engage the local community in determining whatever Kiwanis does and that makes for successful projects.
