And that’s what South Pasadena Mayor Dr. Marina Khubesrian did last Wednesday night, recognizing 20 members of the community who dedicated themselves to a wide range of city commissions, from Parks and Rec and Public Safety, to Finance and more.
Khubesrian, who knows the value of each one, joined the City Council in paying tribute by presenting the outgoing commissioners a certificate of appreciation.
“All our outgoing commissioners that were recognized by the City Council have volunteered their time and energy to provide important services to the city and our residents,” said Khubesrian. “I very much appreciate their willingness to serve and help our city study and implement policy.”
