Celebrating Milton
1. October 2011 by pat desmond.
It’s nearly time for Celebrate Milton!
The event began 18 years ago as a celebration of the community - its spirit - its diversity.
George Welles, former pastor of the Church of Our Saviour, and I will both receive Lifetime Achievement Awards from the organization.
It humbles me to prepare for this honor.
In 1997 I won a community builder award which proudly hangs on my office wall at the Milton Times.
The paper was young back then and I was much younger than I am today.
My daughter, June, had nominated me and I was thrilled to know she wasn’t upset about the long hours she was working to help the paper grow. 1997 was a good year for my whole family. My son graduated from Milton High. My daughter had her first child, Hayley Bradford. And I joined a small group of Milton people called community builders.
I was living on Willoughby Road that year and I spent most of my days and nights connecting with people in the community.
Building a weekly newspaper is all about helping the community find its voice.
The town of Milton has a strong and vibrant voice.
I continue to enjoy being part of the community. And I am grateful for all the community provides.
