The Longmont Association of Realtors has named Imagine! Foundation President and SmartHome supporter extraordinaire Leona Stoecker as its Carl Turner Citizen of the Year!
Leona has been particularly effective in acquainting Longmont individuals with Imagine!’s SmartHomes Project. A perfect example is the day she spent at the Charity Hole of the Longmont Chamber’s Commerce Cup Golf Tournament on June 1. As each cart rolled up to the hole – for five hours straight – Leona greeted each foursome with a brochure and a story about Imagine! and the Longmont SmartHome. Because almost every single person already knew and respected Leona, she was able to gently but enthusiastically encourage their support.
That event plus countless other meetings with potential donors, talks at service club meetings, and just telling people she meets has resulted in both interest and critical funding being raised – even in a very tight economy. Thanks in great measure to her efforts, more than $900,000 had been secured for the Longmont SmartHome even before the Groundbreaking Ceremony!
Leona will be presented with her award Thursday, September 17, 5:00-8:00 p.m. at the Radisson Hotel in Longmont.
Congratulations, Leona, and SO well deserved!
