Mayor Anders honors five 'lamplighters' for community service at State of the City
Summary
During the address, Mayor Anders recognized five community volunteers—Sam Hendricks, Dolly Marshall, Dr. Alan Moore, Dale Peterson and Lillian Whirley—highlighting their work with students, nonprofits, arts and emergency support.
Mayor Ron Anders used part of the address to recognize five community members he called "lamplighters" for longstanding civic contributions. He described their work in youth development, education and public service and invited the honorees to stand on stage for a standing ovation and photographs.
The mayor told short vignettes about each honoree: Sam Hendricks for documenting Auburn street histories and supporting children's summer camps; Dolly Marshall for youth employment, scholarships and community service; Dr. Alan Moore for decades of music leadership, teaching and volunteerism; Dale Peterson for steady, calm presence and problem-solving in medical and community contexts; and Lillian Whirley for advocacy and work with students in the In-School Suspension program.
Anders framed the recognition as an example of the civic spirit that makes Auburn "easy to love," and encouraged residents to find ways to contribute to community life.
