PRESENTATION: CHARACTER COUNTS! COALITION RECOGNITION PROGRAM
Mayor Low stated presentations would be made to citizens who have exhibited the six
pillars of the Character Counts! Program: Caring, Fairness, Citizenship, Responsibility, Respect
and Trustworthiness. She stressed these are ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
Alderman Condon, City Council Liaison and President of the Character Counts! Coalition
noted there are good things happening in the McHenry community:
• Lisa Holm is a teenager at West Campus High School who raised money to build a school
in India. She spearheaded and participated in a youth group challenge through her
church to raise more than $50,000 for this cause;
• Steve Belmore and Bill Hobson, when their friend, Walter Taylor collapsed from a heart
attack during a Sunday morning basketball game at East Campus, performed CPR until
emergency personnel arrived.
Alderman Condon presented each with a plaque honoring them for their demonstration
of living the Character Counts! Pillars in our community.
Mr. Taylor was in attendance and expressed his gratitude for the quick thinking and
immediate assistance he was provided which saved his life.
Mayor Low noted we never know when the opportunity to provide public service in
such a profound way will present itself. Mayor Low and the Council expressed their
congratulations to the honorees.
