Board Chairperson Receives Award
On December 20, 2011, Harold Cogdell, Jr., Chairperson of the Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners, presented Sr. Mary Jerome Spradley, Chairperson of the Foundation's Board of Directors, with the County's Order of the Hornet. The Order of the Hornet was founded in the spirit of the early Mecklenburg patriots who signed the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence on May 20, 1775, and proclaimed the County's freedom from Britain more than a year before the U.S. Declaration of Independence was signed. This award, made in recognition of the spirit of these early patriots, pays tribute to those who have given so generously of their time and talents to improve the quality of life for the citizens of Mecklenburg County.
