20060926 KDDC Russell Mills A Dream Keeper gets recognized

Russell Mills - A Dream Keeper gets recognized

Posted by Kevin Dayhoff on September 26th, 2006

Speaking of great community oriented newspaper work, it was no surprise for me that when someone called to my attention that there was an article written about the great work of fellow Carrollinian, Russell Mills, Jr., I found the excellent article to be written by Ellie Baublitz: “'Mr. Lion' gets a roar of support,”

Ms. Baublitz must have started writing for the Baltimore Sun when she was in elementary school as I have clippings of her work going back forever…

It would be great if more Baltimore Sun writers took her approach. She has been one of my favorite journalists for quite some time.

On September 24th, 2006, she penned a great piece about the wonderful community work of Russell Mills, Jr.

It is only fitting and proper that the article came out at the beginning of Fallfest, because when thinks of folks who are the dream keepers in our community, Mr. Mills makes the “A” team quickly and easily.

It is always good to recognize the folks who make this community a wonderful place to live and congratulations are in order for Mr. Russell Mills and a big thank you for Ellie Baublitz for calling to our attention his award.

Among several excerpts that are worthy of your attention are: “Mills was chosen out of 26 nominees for the annual honor at an awards ceremony at the new North Carroll Senior and Community Center.”

“Next month will mark 31 years as a Westminster Lion for Mills. He has been president twice, vice president, fundraiser committee chair, district chair, board member, youth chair, and this year, zone chair, responsible for circulating news to six regional clubs.”

“Ron Brewer, a fellow Lion who nominated Mills, said, ‘He does everything and anything for the Westminster club and any other club he can help out.’”

Read the rest of Ms. Baublitz’s article: “'Mr. Lion' gets a roar of support,” here.

When ya run across Mr. Mills, thank him for everything that he does for our community and be sure to thank Ms. Baublitz for all her good work also.
