Community Connection | NFMCA presents Community Service Awards
I hope the new year has been good to everyone so far.
The North Fort Myers Civic Association Community Service Awards brought in the best of the best this year.
Pam Cronin was honored as the Tom Cronin Person of the Year 2023. Pam loves our community she certainly isn’t afraid to roll up her sleeves and contribute. She’s helped hundreds of our community causes and charities over the past 30 years. Tom Cronin’s legacy at the Shell Factory has been a labor of love for Pam. It was our pleasure to present the Tom Cronin person of the year award to Pam Cronin.
Brandi Mikolak, owner of Our Hope Animal Clinics, was honored with the Diamond Award.
Brandi has been a big force in the fight against the feral cat population, stray and abandoned dogs and has helped countless families to be able to afford to take care of their animals. Brandi can be found many evenings after hours making sure her pet guests are set for the night. It was our pleasure to award Brandi the Woman of Distinction Award 2023.

Last but not least!
The Ron Hoover Legends Award 2023 was presented to Will Barnes of Ellsworth HVAC.
Will has supported his community in every way he can for so long that he should have received this award a long time ago. Will proves daily what it takes to be the recipient of the Rob Hoover Legend Award.
This is what a community is made of, where everyday heroes are everyday people.
These are just a few of the people that help make a neighborhood. This is what Community Service medals are made for.
