Encino : Awards Will Honor Public Employees
The Encino Chamber of Commerce Thursday will honor nine people for excellent performance of their public-service jobs.
The Community Service Awards Luncheon, in its third year, pays tribute to public-safety personnel and Encino postal employees who have been nominated by their supervisors for work above and beyond the call of duty.
“Their dedication and commitment is what makes this a great place to live,” said Jan Sobel, executive director of the chamber. “We want to take a few moments to thank them for everything they give all of us.”
Councilman Marvin Braude and Councilwoman Laura Chick are expected to attend the luncheon, which will be held at the Braemar Country Club, 4001 Reseda Blvd., in Tarzana. The cost for chamber members is $16, and for non-members, $20.
The honorees are paramedic Steve Hoffbauer and Firefighter Christopher Ennis of the Los Angeles Fire Department; Senior Lead Officer Joe Losorelli, Officer Ed Evans and reserve officer Bobby Sherman of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Van Nuys Division; Officer Larry Monte and reserve officer Lenny Boen of the LAPD West Valley Division, and U.S. Postal Service employees Frank Howard and Kevin O’Neill.
