Local Eagle Scout Recipients Recognized

Supervisor Tony Cardone and Town Clerk Valerie Bitzer present Eagle Scout Dominic Wasto with the "Making an Impact" Award
Town of Monroe resident, Dominic Wasto was recognized for his outstanding efforts leading to the achievement of Eagle Scout at a ceremony on Saturday, May 20th. Dominic's Eagle Scout project focused on improvements to Mombasha Park through the construction and installation of guardrails in the parking lot area of both the soccer and baseball field sides of the park. Mombasha Park continues to be an active recreation town property and the improvements Dominic completed through his project will certainly enhance the safety of the parking lot areas for years to come. We thank Dominic for making an impact in the Town of Monroe!
