I am VERY happy to
announce the Grand Marshal for the 73rd Annual Hopkins Raspberry
Festival and Parade - Dave McCarville. Dave is a well-known
member of the Hopkins community as a business-owner, a member of
a variety of civic organizations, volunteer extraordinaire, and
he is probably one of Hopkins' biggest cheerleaders.
Dave McCarville is not
only a wonderful example of someone who gives back to his
community in more ways than most could name, but he is also an
excellent role model for others to do the same. I am continually
amazed at how Dave can be involved in as many community events
and organizations that he is, at the same time as raising a
wonderful family and keeping such an infectious positive
attitude.
I had the opportunity to
get to know Dave as he gave of his time selflessly with our
youth group from the time I was a small child until I graduated
from high school. Throughout that time and until now, Dave has
continually shown me the value in giving back to your community,
and his enthusiasm in doing so has instilled in me a desire to
do the same and continue to pass that enthusiasm to others in as
many ways that I can.
Hopkins truly has a
remarkable resident in Dave. I know that his continued support
for the community, his involvement in so many local
organization's endeavors, and his unbelievable optimism have
been instrumental into making Hopkins into the wonderful
community that it is.
Thank you, Dave, for being
such a great part of this community. We are honored to have you
serve as our Grand Marshal.
