Washington City Council periodically honors citizens that go the extra mile to make Washington a better place to live. They award the “Pride In Washington” award to those people. On Thursday, Mayor JoJo Burgess honored an organization and an individual. He chose to deliver a “Pride In Washington” proclamation to the LeMoyne Community Center for their charitable efforts to the city and even the county. He also bestowed the award to the center’s Executive Director, Teresa Burroughs (pictured). Taken aback by the recognition, Burroughs called the center a staple in the community for its programs. She listed educational programs for school kids, food programs for youth and seniors, health and wellness programs and programs to help the recovery community. She gave credit to all of the others that work at the center, especially Program Director Patricia Robinson, who heads up the running of those programs. The building is undergoing an expansion. Burroughs says that a classroom and entrance upgrades will be ready by the end of the month. Mayor JoJo Burgess said the center is not just a neighborhood resource, but a resource that is an asset to the whole city and all of its residents.
