January Proclaimed "Norma Jean Watley Month" in Galesburg
Mayor Sal Garza announced the recipient of the Annual Adult Service to Youth Award at last Monday's city council meeting.

A very surprised Norma Jean Watley of Galesburg stood to accept the award and recognition.

Watley volunteers everyday at the Boys and Girls Club of Knox County.

Watley has been helping to hand out snacks at the after school program for the past four years and says she wouldn't want to do anything else.

"I love it. I love it," Watley said. "If I didn't, I would be at home every day. But, I love what I do for the kids."

Garza presented Watley with the proclamation of January as "Norma Jean Watley Month" and thanked her for her volunteerism.
