Wellsville Chamber's 2010 Community Service Award


At the Wellsville Area Chamber-of-Commerce dinner October 23rd the Wellsville Crime Watch Committee was named recipient of this year's Community Service Award. Shown here accepting the award from Chamber member Connie Bauer (R) is the Committee President Janet Taggart.

The Wellsville Crime Watch Committee was founded in 1970 by Pete Russell and former WPD Officers Jack Gallagher & Craig Yanni. It sort of faded away after awhile until retired CC Sheriff Robert "Brassy" Beresford was asked to get it going again.

Other nominees for the award was the Lions Club & the Wellsville Area Ministerial Association's Paint the Town Committee.

The Crime Watch Committee meets the third Thursday of every month at Wellsville Village Hall. Membership is free and open to any area resident.
