The Cresswind Community Fund was just awarded the prestigious Ann Thomas Award, as Volunteer of the Year of Good News Clinics for 2020.

Bill Papciak  received calls from both Liz Coates, Director, and Ron Stowe Board Member of GNC yesterday afternoon informing me of this award to The Community Fund.

This annual award is given at a GNC  major fundraising event and dinner usually at this time of year, with Award recipients honored with their own table of recognition. That event will not be held this year due to COVID 19, they are doing their fundraising virtually.

The CWCF has been invited to have a table of recognition at next year’s event along with the 2021 winner.

Cresswind at Lake Lanier community members delivered meals and snacks to Gainesville Police Department, Hall County Fire Station No. 4 and Gainesville Fire Station No. 4.

Doug Geganto, member of the 55-year-old and up housing development, said this summer marks the fourth time the neighborhood has held a first responder appreciation event. 

“They’re (law enforcement) getting such a bad rap around the country today,” Geganto said. “We want the Gainesville community to know that we appreciate everything they do, not only for Cresswind, but for the entire city.”

Lois Ehlers, who lives in Cresswind, said the neighborhood raised $4,000 through its residents to purchase meals from Long Street Café and Johnny’s BBQ. They also offered raffle prizes to the first responders through the help of Chick-fil-A, Culver’s, Honey Baked Ham and Longstreet Café.
