(PARSIPPANY, N.J.) -- Patriots’ Path Council, Boy Scouts of America, will honor local citizens at the fourth annual Parsippany Good Scout Award Dinner on Tuesday, March 10, 2020, at 6:30 p.m. at the Hanover Manor in East Hanover. This year’s honorees are the Yoldas brothers from 1 United MMA House, Patricia “Miss Pat” DeVita, Leonardo A. Fariello, June Madia, Gordon Meth, and Anthony Franco’s Ristorante & Pizzeria.
The event recognizes these seven outstanding citizens for their community service, as evidenced by their leadership and interests within the Parsippany community, and for their embodiment of the values of the century-old Scout Oath and Law in their personal and professional lives. The event chairman is Robert Peluso.
The Yoldas brothers from 1 United MMA House have been educating people to be physically fit through their many martial arts classes. Patricia DeVita is a paraprofessional with the Parsippany Board of Education and the director of her church’s summer Bible camp.
