ALBION – Becky Karls has been a key force in making many community events a success, especially the annual Strawberry Festival. Karls has been on the festival committee for many years. She stepped up as the committee chairperson last year.
She runs a car show at Bullard Park in September that typically raises at least $2,000 for Hospice of Orleans County.
She also helps plan a golf tournament for the Albion Rotary Club, with proceeds from the July event going to the Office for the Aging and Job Development Agency.
Karls also helps with other events in Albion. She brings lots of energy and follow-through.
The Albion Village Board on Wednesday presented her with a “Community Service Award.” The board has been recognizing residents with the awards every three months.
“The Village of Albion presents this award in acknowledgement of your commitment to serving others and your community,” according to the certificate signed by Mayor Angel Javier Jr.
