Distinction

The 5th Annual Mayors' Award of Distinction award ceremony took place today at the Paramount Center for the Arts.

The honorees recognized for their unselfish contributions to Bristol over the years are Ruth Jerauld "Jerry" Hill Goodpasture, Mimi Price Kind, and James White, Jr.

Sharon Randall, award-winning writer and columnist, gave the keynote address to a large crowd.

Special thanks are in order to the entire award evaluation panel and its chairperson, Gary McGeough, as well as to Garick Zikan, WCYB News Anchor, who served as Master of Ceremonies.

The 2012 program was coordinated by our Department of Community Relations under the direction of Terrie Talbert.  Good job to all that made this a special day in Bristol.
