XENIA — Greene County commissioners Aug. 29 honored county employees who reached milestone employment anniversaries between January and May of this year.
“The commissioners said they wanted to do something to recognize the people that work for the county — the residents of Greene County — and the service they provide on an ongoing basis faithfully every day,” Board President Tom Koogler said. “You all do that and that’s the reason Greene County is the county that it is. That’s why people want to live in Greene County because of the services that are provided by you and all the other employees.”
Employees who celebrated 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 years received certificates and shook the hands of each commissioner.
“This is just a small token of appreciation that we have for what you folks do because you are the county,” Commissioner Dick Gould said. “We sit up here, but you really represent us.”
