Menands Village proclaims longtime Menands Activity editor Sheila Hyatt for community service
Summary
The Menands Village board presented a proclamation recognizing Sheila Hyatt’s nearly two decades of volunteer service as editor of the Menands Activity, noting her role in preparing mailings and leadership in several local organizations.
The Menands Village Board presented a proclamation honoring Sheila Hyatt on behalf of the village for “outstanding dedication, exceptional performance, and unwavering commitment to excellence.” Mayor Brian Marsh read the proclamation, which said Hyatt served as editor of the Menands Activity since July 2006 and personally prepared large mailings — the proclamation cited over 1,200 envelopes per mailing and an estimated 580,000 copies distributed over 19 years.
The proclamation also noted Hyatt’s community roles, listing service as secretary of the Menands Fire Department Auxiliary, the Menands Senior Citizens Club and participation in the Menands Saint Patrick’s Club. Board members presented a small gift following the reading and attendees offered brief thanks.
The board’s recognition highlights long-term volunteer work that village officials said has helped maintain timely communications with residents. No formal action beyond the proclamation was taken at the meeting.
