Use the first phrase of the last paragraph “Some people call them good Samaritans . . .” as the quote. Center and italicize the text inside the text box. (Hint: Insert Ribbon)

Larry Beal, co-chair of the Community Pantry, was presented with the 2007 Guardian Award at a special awards dinner in Chicago last week. Nominated by his peers in the community, Beal was up against highly qualified candidates from the city and suburbs. News anchor Ted Montgomery awarded Larry a check for $1,000 as well as a check for the Pantry for $1,000. Larry received an engraved plaque that read, 2001 Guardian Award Presented to Larry Beal “For his dedication and faithful service to the Community Pantry and the people it serves.”

Larry has worked at the Pantry for more than 10 years—first as a Saturday volunteer and driver to the Chicago Food Depository. After he retired from a distinguished career in accounting, Larry worked three days a week at the Pantry, doing everything from keeping the books to counseling the patrons.

TV Channel 5 and the Humanitarian Council sponsor this annual award. The award honors the highest ideals and achievements in public service—the unsung heroes of the community. The Guardian Award was founded in 1972 by the City Council.

Some people call them good Samaritans; others call them volunteers. Their titles really do not matter. It is their unselfish commitment to service that positively influences the lives of others. People such as Larry Beal make a difference here at the Community Pantry.

Online services have become a popular way for subscribers to shop and to communicate with one another. However, the providers of online services don’t control the contents of the newsletters and other communications available through their services. Some services screen messages for obscene language.
