North County Incorporated (NCI) proudly recognized
several amazing leaders for their service
and dedication to making the lives of others
in our community better at our 29th Annual
Breakfast. More than 500 area leaders joined
NCI at the St. Louis Airport Marriott to celebrate
the positive impact our honorees have had
on North County. Joe Lonero was NCI's Elmer
Belsha Leadership Award recipient, chosen
for his long-term commitment, contributions
and the example he sets as his rehab work,
one building or block at a time, is helping
turn Ferguson's CityWalk District into a thriving
destination. Our Business Development Awards
went to Ed Bennett with St. Louis Community
College at Florissant Valley and the City
of Florissant, under the Leadership of Mayor
Robert Lowery. Sister Rosalyce Mercurio of
Holy Name of Jesus Parish, the Boeing-F18
Division under the leadership of Bob Mir,
and the Florissant Valley Jaycees received
recognition for benefiting youth, residents,
civic organizations, or others through selfless
acts. NCI's Special Recognition Awards went
to McBride & Son Homes and former Mayor William
Ratchford of Woodson Terrace for their service,
as well as their involvement with civic and
charitable organizations. We congratulate
these honorees and thank them for their contributions
to our lives.
