very proud of what she’s done with the village and how the village is, and as a result, I ended up personally purchasing property here, meeting my future wife and moving here. She was a frontline person I got to meet here in Andrew and she made a very good impression.” Councillor Tammy Pickett first met Pat when she moved to the area in 2001. While she didn’t live in the community, Pickett said she met Pat while doing volunteer work and through her business as the owner of the Andrew Hotel.

I do recall a midnight call that came in when you and I ended up checking the pump in the lift station. Stuff that typical mayors and CAO’s don’t do.” Warawa said they had “some amazing days” and recalled how Pat organized and led events for Ed Stelmach. “Those were crazy days. You were also with me during very difficult times and I appreciate the support you gave me. You were there for me all the time, including being my date at a fire chiefs convention. I know how hard the job is that you do. Resources are so hard to come by in smaller communities and even harder because you are asked to work with your larger partners at times.
