2007 FRANK N. KELLY AWARD
 

Awarded annually to an individual who has contributed outstanding work in promoting and accomplishing the Club's programs. The award is named for Frank N. Kelly, who was Honorary Vice President of the EBAC for 34 years and who was a loyal friend to the Club.
   
 

 

Liz Bove
  As noted above, Frank N. Kelly Award is presented to people who support the EBAC with effort and dedication beyond the normal or even the extra. Liz’s resume of EBAC work is truly extensive. She has been an active EBAC member for over 40 years. She has served on countless committees, the most recent being the Hall of Fame Committee, Athlete of the Year Committee, Banquet Committee and the Communication Committee. She has been the commissioner of the Bowling League and chairperson of the annual EBAC Bowling Tournament for over 30 years. Liz has also been an active member of the EBAC Executive Board for over 30 years. She served in all five-officer positions, becoming the 24th EBAC President. One would think that after serving as president in 1997 and 1998, she would relax and assume a les active role. Not Liz, she filled the secretary and vice-president positions again after her term as president. She was awarded the President’s award in 1995 and 2001 for work in support of the President on a particular program or event.

On the sports performance side, she was awarded the 1971 Dot Bliven Award, and was inducted into the EBAC Hall of Fame in 1993 based on her performance in bowling, volleyball and fast pitch softball. On the work in support of the Club side, she was awarded the Frank N. Kelly Award in 1993.

Others have been presented the Kelly Award a second time, but none have contributed more effort or provided more support to the EBAC and its programs, goals and commitments.
