3.a Leiter Scandia Good Neighbor Proclamation SCANDIA GOOD NEIGHBOR AWARD PROCLAMATION WHEREAS, respecting, caring for and helping others is a hallmark of the American character, and central to how we as a community live; and WHEREAS, respect and care for and from neighbors creates a more sustainable, resilient community and makes Scandia a great place to live and be; and WHEREAS, Scandia throughout its history has been the beneficiary of being a community of Good Neighbors; and WHEREAS, Randy and Robin Leiter contribute to Scandia’s good life through their generosity and willingness to help out their neighbors; and WHEREAS, Randy and Robin Leiter’s generosity of spirit has shown itself in so many ways from mowing neighbors’ lawns, cleaning up their leaves, shoveling and blowing snow, taking a neighbor’s non-working chainsaw and fixing it while giving that neighbor a chainsaw to use in the meantime, helping a neighbor with a landscape project, and generously sharing their garden vegetables with neighbors; and WHEREAS, Randy and Robin Leiter’s extreme generosity of spirit showed itself this past summer following the tornado that hit the northwest part of Scandia, by helping out a new neighbor who had a wedding scheduled at their home soon after the storm. Their house was devasted by the storm, and they were unable to hold the wedding at their property. Randy and Robin invited the family to use their own beautiful yard and their pole barn to set up a large tent, music, and entertain a large number of guests; THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Scandia presents the Scandia Good Neighbor Award to Randy and Robin Leiter in recognition and appreciation. Presented this 19th day of November, 2019 Christine Maefsky, Mayor, City of Scandia
