His work behind the scenes has enhanced the quality of life in the Hatboro community.

• The Service to Youth Award is presented Justin Ryan Cubmaster for Cub Scout Pack 17. Ryan has worked tirelessly to keep Pack 17 thriving for the last 4 years as Cubmaster, and assistant den leader three years prior.

• The Service to Business Award is presented to Mike Sharp, owner of Hatboro Lumber. The Sharp family has owned the business for the past 25 years. Hatboro Lumber is not only dedicated to exceptional customer service but with its support to the community and businesses.
