OUTSTANDING CITIZEN
2011 Honoree
MADDY MARZULLO
Maddy and her
husband, Joseph, have been Harwinton residents since
2000 and make their home on Harmony Hill. Maddy is quoted
as saying, “I knew as soon as we drove into Harwinton
looking for housing that I was going to love this town…
and I do! The friendliness of the residents is the very
best. I’m happy to call Harwinton my home”.
Maddy is known
to wear many hats in Harwinton in which she has become
very involved in the care and wellbeing of her neighbors,
friends, and the community. She began joining community
organizations and events almost immediately upon moving
to Harwinton. She joined the Bronc Callahan Community
Fund organization in 2001 and worked on and managed
the Friends Helping Neighbors Committee for many years
before stepping down in 2010 to become vice president,
and currently she is serving as that organization’s
president for a two-year term. She had served as vice
president from 2004 to 2006 when an accident prevented
her from becoming president. Maddy helps with many BCCF
projects including the annual Tree of Hope and the Easter
and Thanksgiving food baskets providing support to area
families. She volunteers a great deal of time at the
VW Bug-In event held annually as BCCF’s biggest
fundraiser.
Maddy has just
completed her second year as president of the Harwinton
Woman’s Club and currently serves as the club’s
parliamentarian. She was honored last year when she
was chosen by the state president of the General Federation
of Woman’s Clubs of Connecticut to be her corresponding
secretary. As part of her responsibilities, she maintains
communications with all members of both the local and
the state organization.
Maddy is also
very involved with the Harwinton Rod and Gun Club assisting
with various aspects of annual events including the
public archery shoots and Ladies Day, an event offered
to women throughout the state who want to learn about
firearm safety and self protection. She enjoys archery
and rifle shooting.
