Dear fellow Hanoverians:
State Representative Rhonda L. Nyman (D-Hanover) joined her colleagues and
the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women on Thursday, May 29 to
honor Hanover Council on Aging Director Robyn Mitton as an Unsung Heroine.
Mitton, of Brockton, has been the Director of the Hanover Senior Center for
the past 10 years. She led the charge in moving into Hanover’s state of
the art senior center while tripling attendance and adding more wellness
and educational programs to meet the ever changing needs of Hanover’s
seniors.
Representative Nyman nominated Mitton for the award while citing her
ability to not only deal with day to day issues that face seniors, but also
to see the big picture and prepare for future needs.
“Robyn highlights what a Senior Center Director should be,” said
Representative Nyman, “that is, someone who understands and cherishes the
notion that our seniors bring the experience, passion, and ability to
contribute that forms the heart of any community.”
The Unsung Heroines are women who don’t always make the news, but truly
make a difference. They are the women who use their time, talent and
enthusiasm to enrich the lives of others and make a difference in their
neighborhoods, cities and towns. They are mentors, volunteers and
innovators who do what needs to be done without expectations of recognition
or gratitude. These women are the glue that keeps a community together and
every community has them.
For more information, please contact Nyman’s Legislative Aide Francis
DiBona at francis.dibona@mahouse.gov .
