In honor of John Galvin's
unwavering commitment and dedication, the
Norwell Chamber of Commerce will honor John
as “Citizen of the
Year.” for 2008.
Donna Cunio, a good friend of
John summarizes his accomplishments:
The following information is more than
likely incomplete when you are speaking
about John Galvin and his service to the
community and the outside world. John is a
person who seems to be everywhere, never
ruffled; never tired although I know how
many hours he flies for his job! John is
never too busy to help.
John was involved for a number of years with
the Girls Softball Team from Norwell High;
he could not live down his Frankenstein days
with the VNA Haunted House; Co-founder of
the South Shore Habitat for Humanity (over
25 years ago) a past President for three
years and continues to be active involved
giving his time as both a Director as well
as “hands on” whenever asked to do just
about everything and anything. He is an
active member of Habitat El Salvador and has
not only organized but been a part of
five trips to New Orleans. John is a
past Scout Master of Troop 78, Norwell and
still sits on the Board of Reviews for Eagle
Scouts.
John is a deacon at the United Church of
Christ, Chairman of the Sound Room (this
allows shut and hearing impaired people to
receive tapes or hearing aids during the
services), Member of the Music Ministry Tea,
teaches church school and is the
videographer for all UCC Christmas Concerts
or anything else that needs taping!
