Hanwell presented Thompson with a special proclamation during the Nov. 24 council meeting and listed the multiple ways Thompson has served the community over the years including as the vice president of the Salvation Army Board and member of the organization’s finance committee. He also volunteered with the St. Vincent de Paul Society, planning commission, archive commission, Project LEARN, Friends of the Medina County Park District, charter review commission, Greater Medina Chamber of Commerce, Hope Recovery, Medina Employment Network, Kiwanis, Oddfellows and the Hands Foundation.
