Village Gardeners' President, Rick Rabins, receives Citizen of the Year award from Corregidor Lions Club of Los Angeles.

On September 26, 2010, I was honored by the Corregidor Lions Club for outstanding and dedicated civic and environmental service to the community of Los Angeles. What an honor it is to have received this prestigious award.

Several club members have volunteered at various Village Gardeners events. Many thanks to club members and officers for this award and for all their dedicated service to the community.
