Description

Susan Hampton of Fidelity Bank was named the 2013 East Cobb Citizen of Year. Hampton has had a long history of serving the East Cobb community. For over 20 years, she has cared for others whether serving as team mom or serving up Christmas dinner for Meals on Wheels. In her latest efforts, Hampton volunteered to co-chair the East Cobb Public Service Appreciation Celebration. This initiative has raised over $20,000 to provide a recognition event for the public safety officials of Precinct 4 as well as an event to honor local fire fighters.

Melvin Couey was recognized as the 2013 West Cobb Citizen of the Year. Couey has been involved with the West Cobb community for over 60 years. Couey volunteers with the West Cobb Lions Club and often leads bingo for senior citizens. As a member of the Lions Club, he is involved with the Lions Club International Vision Program, where he drives around the county asking donations of eye glasses. The eye glasses are sent to recycling centers and eventually make their way to those in need of free eye glasses. Over the years, Couey has donated over 40,000 pairs of glasses.
