Longtime volunteers honored with Power of Giving Community Impact Awards

Vera Bell, Ruby Murray, and Wes and Lucy Jones were presented with CityView's Community Impact Awards on Wednesday

Four longtime community volunteers were recognized Wednesday as CityView's Power of Giving Community Impact Awards were presented at a luncheon at Segra Stadium.

Ruby Murray is a Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps instructor at South View High School. She has been there since she retired from the Army in 2016, instructing and mentoring young people — America’s future — to be the best they can be in whatever endeavor they pursue.

‘Give all you have’

Murray is being recognized for the unselfish giving of her time and talents to her community and — most important — to her students as the recipient of one of CityView Magazine’s three 2022 Power of Giving Community Impact Awards presented by PWC.

Community calling

Vera Bell learned early on the importance of sharing, giving and helping. Her mother and father passed on a commitment to compassion for others. She soaked it up like a dedicated student, fueling a disciplined work ethic that remains to this day.

When Wes and Lucy Jones met on a blind date almost 50 years ago, no one could have expected the partnership that would grow and leave a significant community footprint in Cumberland County.
