Citizen of the Week

Karen Fitzpatrick is a total role model for all of us, and that's why she won front page acclaim again this year.

"Karen performed amazingly at Eurekapalooza -- always smiling, giving answers to hundreds of questions, dashing across the soccer field, a blur of turquoise, greeting bands, volunteers and vendors, counting money, portioning chili and then singing and playing music.

"I'm astounded with her grace, wit, and patience. Outstanding job. Karen, we're truly grateful for all you do for Clear Spring School, for music, and our community. You put the 'palooza' in Eurekapalooza!"
