CHAMPION OF SERVICE
If the comminuty has a need for help, whether it's for a family, group or organization,
this is where you'll likely find Tamara. Her servant's heart defines her, and her
relentless efforts to spread goodwill inspire everyone around her. Tamara is the
co-founder of BRAVO and HOPE, both middle school clubs encouraging our
youth to serve in their community. She serves in our schools, collects provisions
for Matthew's Hope and families living in undesirable conditions, dotes on
our seniors, and volunteers at community events. Her passion for people is
shaping future generations. Over the past year, as many felt hopeless, Tamara
showed up to offer the things money can't buy: kindness, generosity and support.
Tamara is a light in our community, encouraging
and inspiring the altruism in all of us.

PRESIDENT, HORIZON WEST THEATER COMPANY
Being in the shadow of the castle was a dream come true, but Melissa
noticed that something was missing in our community. Theater! Powered
with shared passion, she and fellow art lovers formed what is now known
as the Horizon West Theater Company. Melissa took the lead in early
2020 as President of the theater company after having served as VP since its
inception. From plan to production, dream to direction, Melissa has led the
company through each pivot. Her passion shines through in creating
awareness for the arts and the
chance for Horizon Westers
to shine on or off stage. She
sees the theater as a safe
and accessible place for
people of all ages. Her
countless hours of
fundraising, producing,
directing
and rallying have
resulted in the arts
having a permanent
place in our community.

FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT OF CAST MEMBER PANTRY
Emily's positive energy is palpable, and it spread like wildfire last year
through her creation of the Cast Member Pantry. After Disney Cast
Members began to experience the devastating financial aspects
of furlough and layoffs, Emily swept in to sustain her fellow
theme park workers. Her fast-thinking, forward mindedness
and compassion are remarkable. With her leadership, volunteers
have delivered more than 8,000 bags of food to local Cast
Members in need. She is - quite literally - keeping food on the table for
many families. Emily's dedication to the initiative and her impeccable
organization of the project in its infancy has resulted in a bi-coastal effort
serving thousands and ensuring no cast member goes hungry.
