| The New Windsor Fire Department and Auxiliary are proud to announce that longtime Auxiliary member Kathryn D. “Kitty” Green has been inducted into the Carroll County Volunteer Emergency Services Association (CCVESA) Hall of Fame, one of the highest honors bestowed upon members of Carroll County’s volunteer emergency services community.
The CCVESA Hall of Fame recognizes individuals who have demonstrated exceptional dedication, leadership, and service to the volunteer fire, EMS, or administrative services within Carroll County. To be eligible for induction, nominees must have a minimum of twenty years of active service and have made outstanding contributions to their organization and the emergency services community as a whole.
Kitty’s induction is a testament to her remarkable commitment to the New Windsor Auxiliary and the New Windsor Fire Department. According to her nomination submitted by the New Windsor Auxiliary, Kitty joined the Auxiliary in 1957 and has remained an active and dedicated member ever since. For nearly seven decades, she has been a cornerstone of the organization and has contributed countless hours supporting the mission of the department.
Throughout her years of service, Kitty has been actively involved in virtually every Auxiliary activity. She spent many years working in the kitchen and served for several decades as the Auxiliary’s Kitchen Chairperson, helping coordinate meals and support countless department and community events. Even today, Kitty continues to share her knowledge and experience by offering guidance and assistance to Auxiliary members whenever needed.
Kitty also played a significant role in the success of the New Windsor Fire Department’s annual carnival, overseeing food preparation and working in the food stand for more than fifty years. Her dedication helped make the carnival one of the community’s most anticipated annual traditions and a vital fundraising event for the department.
In addition to her work in the kitchen and at the carnival, Kitty has faithfully served as the Assistant Treasurer of the New Windsor Auxiliary for more than 30 years, providing steady leadership and support behind the scenes.
The New Windsor Fire Department extends its sincere congratulations to Kitty on this well-deserved recognition. Her decades of service, unwavering commitment, and positive influence have touched generations of firefighters, Auxiliary members, and community residents.
Thank you, Kitty, for your extraordinary dedication and for helping shape the proud tradition of service that continues at the New Windsor Fire Department today. |
