Mayor Adams spoke briefly about those people in the community who go out of their way to help others. He stated that those people are volunteers in all aspects of the community, coaches, church leaders, people who walk and pick up trash along their way, businesses downtown who contribute time, effort and money to improve the community, and many other people within the community. He indicated that he would be presenting a Community Hero Award to Abe Correa, a local volunteer who makes the lives of the community better. Mayor Adams commented that Mr. Correa sets an example for the entire community. When others in the community say they are too tired, too busy or that it is not their job, Mr. Correa steps up and takes responsibility. He is selfless in his devotion to the community and has taken on many important jobs including taking care of the lives of the people in the community and in particularly the kids. He has spent countless hours working with the Parks Department, boards, coaches, players and all without compensation. His actions and his role with the Torrington Little League Program have greatly benefited numerous kids, their parents and the community itself. The number of coaches, parents, players and grandparents who have benefited from Mr. Correa’s efforts cannot be overestimated. His efforts have set an example followed by the Legion Baseball Program. Mr. Correa continues to volunteer knowing well that volunteering opens up an individual to criticism. He shoulders the criticism and doesn’t let himself be persuaded in his volunteer roles. Mayor Adams commented that for that reason, the City of Torrington wants to make an example of Abe Correa by designating him as a Community Hero and honor him for all that he has done for the Torrington Little League Program and the community. Mayor Adams presented Mr. Correa with the award. Mr. Correa was congratulated with a big round of applause. Mr. Correa thanked the Mayor and Council for the award.
