Doris and Jerry Selmer have been named City of Arcadia 2015 Senior Citizens of the Year.
Doris and Jerry Selmer
The annual Salute to Seniors Luncheon sponsored by the Arcadia Rotary Club will be held on Tuesday, May 12, 2015 from 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. at the Arcadia Community Center, 365 Campus Drive. At this special event, the Arcadia Rotary Club along with the City Council, Senior Commissioners and other guests will honor the Selmers.
The Selmer’s have been the cornerstone of the Arcadia Public Library, serving as volunteers together for nearly 40 years. Jerry currently serves as the membership chairman for the Friends of the Arcadia Public Library and prior to this, served as the President for several years. Doris works alongside with Jerry, coordinating volunteers who establish the pricing for the Friends used bookstore and is in charge of restocking the store each day.
In addition to their mutual commitment to the Library, they have been supportive currently, and in the past, of other LA County organizations which have included:
Arcadia Historical Society
Autry Museum of Western Heritage
Southwest Museum
Natural History Museum of LA County
Arcadia High School PTA
Pasadena Philharmonic Society
Historical Society of Southern California
The City of Arcadia is very proud of Jerry and Doris Selmer and thankful for their contributions of their time and talents to and for the community. They are certainly a reflection of this year’s Older Americans Theme of “Get into the Act of Volunteerism.”
On behalf of the Arcadia Rotary Club and the City of Arcadia, it is a pleasure to announce Jerry and Doris Selmer as the 2015 Senior Citizens of the year.
