Ida Ochoteco of Deanna Drive is the recipient of the annual Eleanor Roosevelt Award presented by the Somerset County Democrats. Kathryn Lieberman of Riverview Terrace received the award given by Hillsborough Democrats.
Both awards, sponsored by the Somerset County Federation of Democratic Women, were presented at a dinner attended by more than 150 people on May 17.
The Roosevelt Award recognizes women who are dedicated to the ideals of Eleanor Roosevelt and the Democratic Party and who have demonstrated a commitment to work for the good of all the residents in their communities.
”Kathryn and Ida share the best attributes of people who recognize that just believing in something is not enough,” said Michael Goldberg, chairman of the Hillsborough Democratic Organization. “They have stepped up time and time again to help promote the Democratic Party and turned their beliefs into action.”
