Betty Cronin - 2010 Ada Laughlin Award Recipient

The highlight of the holiday luncheon was the Ada Laughlin Award  presentation to Betty Cronin. Betty was the first chair of Operation New Start. She dedicates her time and displays great compassion to the residents of Canticle Place through Operation Friendship. Betty is active in every aspect of Assistance League as a key player and also works behind the scene to make things happen.  Like so many past recipients, the Burr Ridge resident is extremely philanthropic and generous in all areas of her life.  Congratulations, Betty Cronin!
