Pat Brofman is YMCA Volunteer Of The Year
Morrisville YMCA Advisory Board member
Pat Brofman, of Morrisville, was awarded the YMCA Volunteer of the Year
award on May 15th at the Lower Bucks Family YMCA 2009 Annual Meeting,
Strong Kids Campaign Celebration and Recognition of Volunteers Luncheon
at the YMCA Fairless Hills branch. Since being appointed to the Board,
Pat has been a vital presence at Community Day, Healthy Kids Day, the
flea and farmers markets, Halloween Happenings and Winterfest events.
She has donated school supplies and candy for Halloween treats and has
given endlessly of her time. If there is something that needs to be done,
Pat is the first person to offer assistance. Pat has also been involved
in other community activities. She was co-chair of the Morrisville 200
Committee, which organized the bicentennial events for Morrisville's celebration.
She is responsible for the statue of Robert Morris in the Robert Morris
Plaza instead of a clock tower (to this day the words "clock tower" put
her into a dither!). She was also a leader in selling engraved paving
stones honoring loved ones surrounding the statue. During this time Pat
served as the President of the Historical Morrisville Society and while
she was working on the bicentennial, she obtained grants for the relining
of chimneys at Summerseat, a steel support beam for the sagging second
floor ballroom, a new roof, and the completion of the lower level art
gallery from a leaky, moldy basement. Many of Pat's family heirlooms have
been displayed at Summerseat and enjoyed by thousands of visitors. Pat
served on the Community Advisory Panel (CAP Board) at Air Products for
seven years until their plant relocation in 2008. Pat also served on the
Morrisville Recreation Board for many years and currently serves on the
"Residents That Care" Board. Angel Food Ministry is one of the ways that
Pat looks after those less fortunate than herself. She places orders and
then two weeks later picks up and delivers the orders. Many times Pat
has dropped off boxes of "angel" food to families who could not afford
to pay for their groceries, becoming their secret benefactor. No one Pat
knows will ever go hungry! Congratulations to Pat, for being a wonderful
friend and volunteer for the Morrisville YMCA!
