Denise Cohn is our George Bailey. As I look back at the past year in Falls Village, it's impossible to imagine the town thriving without her. Just twelve months ago, Denise galvanized the community to raise $150,000 to buy the old Emerson Building to convert it into a community and cultural center. She rallied us twice to attend Town Meetings to get support for the project. Without Denise, there would have been no production of "Cinderella," no Village Voices singing at Memorial Day, no Falls Village Children's Theater Summer Camp at HVRHS, no Scarecrow Contest on Main Street, no after-school classes for kids at Geer Village nor Friday night dance classes for adults. 
There would not be a new roof on 103 Main Street or holiday lights on its facade. In her spare time, Denise helps find homes for rescued dogs, attends Board of Finance meetings and offers advice and friendship with passion and good humor. Denise is not always an angel but she always fights the good fight. Without her, we wouldn't have such a wonderful life.

Dan,
I agree. Denise is a gem who gives so much to the community. I look forward to when the transformation of the Emerson building is complete and her dream has been realized.
I think she is always an angel. It simply takes a lot of flapping to keep those wings dust free.
