As president of the Cambridge Historic School Foundation, Eileen Scott was instrumental in saving the village’s 1906 school house from destruction and getting it placed on the National Register of the Historic Trust. The school is now a museum where Eileen serves as curator and chief fundraiser. She is also active with the Cambridge Area Chamber of Commerce, Meals on Wheels and the Cambridge AARP Chapter, and is a past president of the Village of Cambridge. We salute Eileen Scott for inspiring her Cambridge community to preserve a local landmark.
We all have the energy that can make a difference. The personal energy of volunteering touches lives and enriches our communities.
JEFFERSON AWARD
In 1972, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Senator Robert Taft Jr. and Sam Beard founded the American Institute for Public Service. Their mission: to encourage individuals for their achievements and contributions through public and community service. By recognizing the work of volunteers through the Jefferson Awards, the Institute believes in can encourage others to get involved in their communities, and to discover inspiration in ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Each of our Hometown Heroes will receive a bronze Jefferson Awards medal for public service. And each year, one Hometown Hero will be chosen to travel to Washington, D.C., where their selfless devotion to public service will be recognized at the Jefferson Awards National Ceremony.
