| 2010 COMMUNITY CONNECTION AWARD |
The New Albany Founders Day “Community Connection Award” was established in 2008 to recognize and showcase the outstanding work and services performed by an area non- profit civic group that serves our community and surrounding area. Founders Day annual celebration was established to recognize the founding of New Albany and Plain Township. It is our intent to bring attention to our community’s history, growth and accomplishments. Plain Township celebrates it's Bi-Centennial this year. It is therefore fitting that we give the Community Connection Award to Plain Township. |
