“This Thursday, the city of Fremont will be one of three cities nationwide to be recognized with the City Award as part of the Make a Difference Day competition. The Make a Difference Day competition is a national day of volunteering held each year on the third Saturday of October. Fremont has participated in this competition for the past 10 years. Last year alone, 1,300 residents in Fremont participated in 76 projects across the city to clean up and improve our streets and make our community much, much better. On Thursday, Fremont residents Suzanne Shenfil, Debra Watanuki, and Christine Beitsch will be presented with the award on behalf of the city of Fremont. Fremont will also be awarded $10,000 to benefit the Fremont Family Resource Center, which offers many services such as child care information, adult information and employment services, and educational programs. I am proud of Fremont and all of the participants in Make a Difference Day for their inspirational work to improve our neighborhoods. Together, each individual contribution builds a stronger and more sustainable community for everyone's future. ____________________”
