Lisa Braccio and Parker Swan will be honored at the 2012 Northborough/Southborough Good Scout Dinner held to be held on Nov. 14 at the Doubletree Hotel in Westborough.
The social hour starts at 6 p.m., and dinner will be served at 6:55 p.m. Proceeds of the annual event will benefit the Boy Scout’s Knox Trail Council. The BSA Knox Trail Council serves thousands of youths in 21 towns in the greater Metro West area.
Swan, a resident of Northborough, is married to Claire Swan, and both are ardent supporters of their communities and families. Parker is best characterized by his own words: “We have always believed in volunteerism and in giving back to God and the community for all the blessings we have
received.”
Swan has been active in the Saint Rose of Lima parish, the Northborough Historical Society, and Northborough Helping Hands Association, as well as being the Gazette Magic Santa for over 20 years.
Lisa Bracccio, a resident of Southborough, is married to Matt Braccio and is founder of a grass roots effort to show our service members serving abroad unwavering support through care packages. Since reading the words of actual service members looking for care packages, Lisa was instrumental in getting
together community volunteers that included Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, schools, clubs, veterans and others to have Care Package Drives that have shipped more than 7,200 boxes of donated care package items weighing over 162,000 pounds.
