Little Falls Earns First Prize From Heritage Foundation
(Special to the Evening Times)
Little Falls, N.Y. today was awarded a national first prize in the National Non-Partisan Register and Vote Competition sponsored by the American Heritage Foundation for “the most intensive and most effective non-partisan register and vote effort by a city with a population between 9,000 and 10,000.” Thomas D’Arcy Brophy, president of the Foundation said, in announcing the award:
“We extend our congratulations to the people of Little Falls. They won this award only because so many of them worked tirelessly together in helping to bring out a record vote last November – the largest demonstration of active citizenship in our history.”
NOTE: During October-November 2022 the museum facebook closely followed this entire campaign based on the scrapbook the Little Falls committee submitted for entering the aforementioned competition.
