The Sergeant Lawrence Everhart Chapter of the Maryland Society of Sons of the American Revolution recently honored Ruth Bielobocky, owner of Ion Design, a Frederick based design and marketing firm, with the SAR’s Martha Washington Medal. The medal was presented at the SAR Chapter’s semiannual meeting at Dutch’s Daughter restaurant. In presenting the medal, SAR chapter leaders commended Bielobocky “for her generosity of time and talent in providing creative design services to advance the purpose of the Sons of the American Revolution.” Bielobocky provided her professional expertise to the SAR chapter in support of the SAR/DAR’s 250th anniversary commemoration of the Repudiation of the British Stamp Act, including the development of a wayside marker for the Repudiation Act. The Martha Washington Medal, authorized by the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution since 1971, is gold in color and bears on the obverse a portrait of Martha Washington within the inscription “SAR Martha Washington Award.” It is suspended from a chest ribbon of the SAR colors and is accompanied by an engrossed certificate.

At a shred event fundraiser hosted by Nymeo on Nov. 14 at Nymeo Field at Harry Grove Stadium, the Frederick County Humane Society received more than $2,400 from the community in support of its Emergency Assistance Program. Nymeo matched the total donation amount bringing the total for the program to $4,800. The EAP provides emergency financial support to families whose pets require lifesaving (and often expensive) medical treatment. Nymeo is a long-standing supporter of the Humane Society, sponsoring many of their events such as Walk-n-Wag and Tails-on-Trails. Aside from helping children and the hungry, Nymeo also focuses on helping animals. All-Shred of Frederick provided the mobile document shredding service and shredded 11,000 pounds of paper.
