We honor a Wolcott Teacher, Fireman, Police Officer, EMT and sometimes other service organizations or individuals at a banquet every spring. Our Annual Raffle is drawn on that evening!
The annual Public Service Awards will be held on April 12, 2022 at the Aqua Turf in Southington. The Aqua Turf anticipates indoor, large gathering events will return to normal for next year and we have booked that date. The honorees for this event will be the same ones chosen for the event that was suppose to have taken place on April 20, 2020. Anyone who sent in payment for tickets for the 2020 event, we have record of you paying and you will be all set to attend the 2022 event, barring any conflicts you may have with the new date. To recap who the award winners are. Police Officer of the Year, Officer Angelo Mauriello, EMT of the Year, Deputy Chief Andrew Albert, Teacher of the Year, Jodi Giglio, Firefighters of the Year, Lt. Nicholas Ortelle Co.#1, Firefighter Noah Ericson Co.#1, Firefighter Matthew Zabbara Co.#3 and Firefighter Steve Savage Co.#3. In addition to these awards, the Exchange Club will be award[1]ing the prestigious Book of Golden Deeds to Flo Goodman of the Wolcott Historical Society. Members of the Exchange Club are looking forward to honoring these first responders, teacher and community leader.
