Aside from the longevity of our marriages or maybe our jobs, how many of us can say that we’ve done anything for 25 straight years?
Some people commit to doing a volunteer job for two or three years, maybe even a few more, but most would laugh in your face if you suggested they do that job for a quarter century.
We don’t know if Art Santen knew at the beginning that he would be organizing the Rosedale Neighborhood Association Halloween Party for 25 years, but he has done it faithfully all that time without a complaint.
We think that kind of service deserves recognition. Thanks a million, Art. Your commitment to the neighborhood and especially to its children is a model for us all.
As a surprise for Art, the Rosedale Neighborhood Association took up a discreet collection to provide a memento of the occasion and presented it to him before the Halloween Party at St. Roch’s on October 31.
