East SideUpper Green Side Volunteer Receives Our Town Otty Award
Last night Manhattan Media, the group behind the East Side’s local paper Our Town held its annual Otty Awards honoring the people who make a difference in our local community. And just like any award show, the stars were out in full force. In attendance last night were Councilwoman Jessica Lappin, Councilman Dan Garodnick, Borough President Scott Stringer, and former Governor of New York state Mario Cuomo, just to name a few.
Our very own Sarah Gallagher, Upper Green Side’s Vice President and all-star volunteer, was honored with the Community Builder Otty. Councilwoman Jessica Lappin introduced Sarah and gave a truly wonderful speech about Sarah and the good work that she does for Upper Green Side.
Sarah herself seemed quite shocked to win the award but its no surprise to us! She has worked tirelessly on Greenmarket campaigns and electronic waste issues in the community since Upper Green Side was founded 4 years ago. Thank you Sarah for all that you do and congratulations on your honor – much deserved!
