Gary Beilman to receive Ben Franklin award

Posted

HONESDALE, PA — The Wayne County Community Foundation Board of Directors has selected Gary C. Beilman for its highest recognition, the 2015 Ben Franklin Award for Community Service. The award, commemorating one of the nation’s founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin, is accompanied by a $1,000 grant from the Foundation’s Ben Franklin Fund. The gift will be awarded to a charity of Beilman’s choice.

The selection was made by the board of the Wayne County Community Foundation in recognition of Beilman’s years of service to his community.

Of all the people who have received this award in its 19 years of history, Beilman has one of the most broad-based service and leadership records, serving with a diverse range of organizations: educational, health care-related, cultural, philanthropical, community development, economic, humanitarian and religious. In each of these areas, Beilman, a Hawley native, has a long legacy of service and effective leadership. He is also the CEO of The Dime Bank.

The foundation will host a dinner to honor Beilman on October 29, to be held at Ehrhardt’s Waterfront Resort in Tafton. Dinner tickets and/or ads can be purchased by contacting the Wayne County Community Foundation at 570/499-4299, or email wccf@ptd.net.
