We are pleased to announce the recipient of the 1st Quarter “Make A Difference Award” is Carie Kreiner.

Carie is a Fitness Instructor at the Geneseo Community Center. She was nominated by Darla Anderson. Here is what Darla had to say . . .

“I have been attending Carie’s Early Burn Class ever since she started teaching it. She is always there for our 5:15 am class with a smile on her face and ready to start our day off with a great fitness attitude. She is motivating and inspiring to all of us. Our workouts are great and she is always trying to find new ways to keep us moving. She is a great instructor and also a great person that cares deeply for each and every one of us. She makes our birthdays special and reaches out to all of us in any time of need. She is a great representative for the Geneseo Park District and you should be very proud to have her on your team. Thank you for Carie!”

We are pleased to announce the recipient of the 1st Quarter “Above and Beyond” Award is . . . Carla Lee!

Carla is the Operations Coordinator at the Geneseo Community Center. Carla was nominated by Steve Elliott. Here is what Steve had to say . . .

“A member walked in and was breathing heavy. He told Carla he had chest pain the day before. Carla told him to go to the ER immediately. He didn’t want to go, but she asked a friend of his to take him. Two hours later, he was transported to the Quad Cities from Geneseo and had a stint put in. Without Carla looking out for his best interest, he may not have been here on Monday.”
