Vote: 2012 Glen Ellyn Person of the Year

The nominations were made and now we want to know who you think should be our Glen Ellyn Person of the Year. Vote in our poll. Voting ends Dec. 27.

 

We asked for your nominations for the 2012 Glen Ellyn Person of the year and readers responded. We received the names of four residents our readers feel have made a difference in 2012.

Now, it is up to you the readers to choose the one you feel is most deserving of the title Person of the Year.

While, they are all deserving of praise, we have to ask you to choose just one. To make your choice you may vote in our poll or leave the person’s name in comments. No new names will be considered at this point. You may also leave a comment in support of your choice and we may use it in our story about the Person of the Year.

Be sure to share the story with your friends and ask others to vote for their choice in this year’s 2012 Glen Ellyn Person of the Year.

I vote for Jennifer Darnall!! She seriously does more than anyone actually notices with Bridge Communities and Infant Welfare only being the tip of the iceberg. I am so honored to be her daughter and hope I can follow in her footsteps with all of the amazing things she does for our community.

I vote for Tracey Kreiling. She is always willing to lend a hand. If you went pass her house within the last few month you would of seen what she did for the victims of the Hurricane in New Jersey! What a true blessing in Glen Ellyn! So proud to call her my friend and learn so much from her!
