Merrilee Boyack for Poway City Council 2004
Description
Boyack received the BYU Alumni Assoc. Community Service Award at the Padres Game in recognition of her outstanding service to the community.
When the Cedar Fires swept through Poway, Merrilee immediately took action and offered her services at the Poway Evacuation Center set up at the Community Park. She supervised all the volunteers, donations, and services throughout the wildfires, working day and night to help the 650 evacuees. Not content to leave it at that, Boyack worked with the Rotary Club of Poway and the City of Poway to establish a Fire Relief Fund which has provided over $108,000 in direct aid to the 66 Poway families who lost their homes in the fires.
Merrilee has worked tirelessly to assist the families in finding housing, food, clothing, and furniture. She assisted in organizing the Holiday Boutique which provided holiday decorations to the families and continues to work on helping these families in any way she can. Boyack has proven that she cares about the residents in Poway and is willing to roll up her sleeves and go to work to help them.
