Fraser Family Is 2013 Norwich Citizen of the Year

The Norwich Women's Club recently announced that the Fraser Family of Dan & Whit's is the 2013 Norwich Citizen of the Year for Community Service.  The Fraser Family will be honored at the Norwich Women's Club Spring Gala on March 15th, where they will receive the Ledyard Grant of $500 for a charity of their choice.

In a listserv post, Spring Gala Chair Sue Pitiger congratulated "our favorite Frasers, Dan, George, Sheri, Jack, and Matt." Praising the family, Ms. Pitiger said: "We all know what Dan and Whit's does for our town.  Without the conscious effort of everyone there to put customer service front and center, we'd have just another general store.  But the Frasers are who they are, thankfully, and we're all the better for it. We will be telling you many wonderful things about this family at the Spring Gala on March 15 and we hope you'll all want to be there to have fun and congratulate them."

There were thirteen nominees for the award.  The winner was selected by a committee headed by Cheryl Herrmann, that also included Arline Rotman, Deb Kaplan, Jay Van Arman, Phil Dechert, Peter French, and Gail Broughton. The names of the other nominees will be released by the Norwich Women's Club at a later date

Gala tickets go on sale in February. The Gala is sponsored by the Norwich Women's Club and Ledyard National Bank.
