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, Andrea Sandager has acted as a Good Neighbor in Scandia contributing
her talents and energy to the well-being and health of our community, and
WHEREAS, most recently Andrea with her husband Greg has contributed by most
generously donating a case of their Rustic Roots wine to Scandia’s Sister City
Committee for shipment to Mellerud, Sweden, and
WHEREAS, Andrea spent many hours researching how we might ship the wine to
Mellerud, and
WHEREAS, without Andrea’s generosity this personal connection to Scandia’s future
Sister City would not have happened, and

of Mellerud and the senior citizen’s home to which they then gifted the wine to be served
on New Year’s Eve to make their evening meal more memorable, and
WHEREAS Andrea Sandager has in this most generous way demonstrated the qualities
of being a Good Neighbor and has been nominated to receive this Award,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Scandia presents the Scandia Good
Neighbor Award to Andrea Sandager in recognition and appreciation.
