The Edgemont Community Council award for distinguished community service has been awarded almost every year since 1950. Serving on this year’s Silver Bowl Award Committee were Alec Clarke, Jeremy Feffer, Betsy McCormack, and Tamim Nazif, with Sarah May Stern serving as Chair. After reviewing numerous nominations, the committee recommended that we present this year’s Silver Bowl to Evandale Road resident Monica Sganga for 25 years of service to the Edgemont Community.
Throughout her years in Edgemont, Monica has been an active volunteer in the schools as well as the larger community. She has served on over 18 committees of the PTA and the PTSA, and most recently served on the SBNC Rules and Procedures Revision Committee.
