We have two proclamations for tonight, and I will need a motion for them, but let me read them out. The gentlemen are not here to accept them. I will be taking them to the Friends of Balls Bluff dinner this weekend. So the first one is a proclamation of outstanding service to the Friends of Balls Bluff, whereas Patrick Mountain's spirit of volunteerism is a model for others to follow. His continued dedication to the Friends of Balls Bluff And to the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority in support of the Balls Bluff Battlefield Regional Park sets this example.
And whereas Patrick is one of the go-to volunteers who responds immediately to requests for help when the needs arise. Whereas Patrick has served as the past president and the board members of the Friends of the Balls Bluff Board and served on many of its committee. Patrick serves as a battlefield guide, a mentor, and a trainer for potential guides. Whereas Patrick has made an enormous contribution to the appearance and attractiveness of Balls Bluff Battlefield Regional Park by leading the monthly maintenance day and after bad weather on the battlefield. Patrick is instrumental in setting up and participating in the yearly anniversary dedication program. Whereas Patrick has contributed over 122 hours of service this year to various programs for the Friends of Balls Bluff.
Therefore, the Mayor of the Town of Leesburg, I hereby present this proclamation to Patrick Mountain for his outstanding service to the Friends of Balls Bluff. Do I have a motion to accept that? So moved. So moved by Vice Mayor. Seconded. Seconded by Councilmember. All in favor indicate by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? That passes 6-0-1. The next proclamation is also for the Friends of Balls Bluff, and this is whereas. Tom's hot spirit of volunteerism is a model for others to follow. His dedication to the Friends of Balls Bluff and the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority in support of the Balls Bluff Battlefield Regional Park are outstanding. And whereas Tom has served on the Friends of Balls Bluff board, he continues to play an important role in the following committees.
the cannon crew, the volunteer park maintenance crew, the anniversary battle dedication ceremony, and battlefield guide program. And whereas Tom serves as a major administrator of the Friends of Balls Bluff essay contest that began in 1917, I wonder if that's correct.
How were the work‑session and regular‑session minutes adopted?
1917, they've been doing this? Wow. Along with other members of the Friends of Balls Bluff, he has engaged in over 600 fourth grade students at Balls Bluff Elementary School in the study and importance of the battle.
