LEWISTON — Three volunteers with the Central and Mid Coast Chapter of the American Red Cross of Maine were honored recently for their distinguished service through the organization.
They are Johanna Lloyd of Poland, Fred Brann of Durham and Lucy Ingraham of Phippsburg.
Ingraham is the 2017 recipient of the statewide George Kotuby Award for Extraordinary Service. The award recognizes lifelong volunteer service that has significantly furthered the Red Cross mission of preventing and alleviating human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.

Lloyd is the recipient of the chapter’s Volunteer Leadership Award.
Brann is the recipient of the chapter’s Special Citation for Exceptional Volunteer Service.
Lloyd joined the chapter’s Lewiston Real Heroes Breakfast Committee in 2012 and has been its chairwoman or co-chairwoman in the years that followed.
Brann, a Red Cross volunteer since the 1990s, has led health and safety training, including CPR and first aid certification for Brunswick High School sophomores. Brann has also been a longtime blood donor and serves as facilities manager for the Topsham office.
The awards were presented at the chapter’s annual dinner at DaVinci’s Italian Eatery on June 16.
The chapter covers Oxford, Franklin, Kennebec, Androscoggin, Sagadahoc, Lincoln, Knox and Waldo counties and the Cumberland County towns of Brunswick and Harpswell. Its offices are in Topsham and Lewiston.
Fred Brann of Durham and Johanna Lloyd of Poland hold framed certificates from the Central and Mid Coast Chapter of the American Red Cross of Maine for exceptional volunteer service and volunteer leadership, respectively. Patricia Murtagh, CEO of the Maine Region of the American Red Cross, joins them.
