Virginia Davis Scarborough, Richmond Mayor Evalyn W. Moore, Renee Barcak Butler and Rosenberg Mayor Vincent M. Morales, Jr.
On May 14th, the Fort Bend Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) hosted a Community Service Awards program honoring Virginia Davis Scarborough and Renee Barcak Butler. The Community Service Awards are an opportunity for chapters and states to recognize worthy individuals in their communities for unpaid voluntary achievements in cultural, educational, humanitarian, patriotic, historical, citizenship or environmental conservation endeavors. Recipients must have contributed to the community in an outstanding manner through voluntary heroic, civic, benevolent service or by organizing or participating in community activities.
“I truly appreciate the honor,” said Renee Barcak Butler. “This group has a wonderful history of great women and to be honored by them is truly humbling. The honors that I have received have been from everyone’s hard work in Downtown Rosenberg. It’s because of them that Downtown Rosenberg is booming.”
Both Mayor Evalyn W. Moore of Richmond and Mayor Vincent M. Morales, Jr. of Rosenberg were in attendance and provided recommendations for Scarborough and Butler to receive these awards.
The DAR, founded in 1890 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., is a non-profit, non-political volunteer women’s service organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history and securing America’s future through better education for children.
