Receives award
AUBURN – Evelyn Brown, a tenant of Barker Arms, received the Community Service Award from the Amvets Post 6 Auxiliary in New Gloucester on May 31.
The award recognized her dedication in baking cookies (six varieties) and weekly delivery to the firefighters who man the three firehouses in Auburn.
Brown began baking after feeling that she should show her gratitude for the brave and selfless acts the men and women perform each day to save lives and protect others.
The tradition followed on the heels of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
