Community Stars shine again

After you’ve had a chance to read the stories and photos outlining this year’s 11 Trumbull County Community Stars in this booklet, we believe you’ll understand exactly why the selection committee chose this group of amazing people. These folks now join an elite group of more than 200 people honored since 2002 for their amazing works of kindness, philanthropy and volunteerism.

The Tribune Chronicle began hon oring Community Stars in 2002. Through the years, the newspaper and its longtime co-sponsor Trumbull 100 have honored these residents by telling their stories in print and also honoring them with a beautiful award and a lovely banquet in which we salute the significant im pact each has had on the lives of others without ever expecting anything in return.

Each year we get dozens of nominations, many often come from previous Community Star recipients, giving credence to the adage that “kindness begets kindness” and fueling the “pay it forward” movement.

A selection committee faced significant challenges in paring down the dozens of nominations from our community. Perhaps as you read this magazine you will be inspired to do some volunteering of your own. Or perhaps you will be moved to nominate someone you know for next year’s award.

Congratulations to the 2023 Community Star recipients. Your good will and volunteerism is felt on many, many levels and in so many places around Trumbull County. Thank you sincerely for all that you do.
