Randi Tarczali Friend of SEPTA Award

Remembering Randi Tarczali, a mother and friend of SEPTA

An important and special part of SEPTA is recognizing extraordinary members of our community. These people may be teachers, bus drivers, therapists, paraprofessionals, coaches, etc. Everyone counts and everyone's nomination is important!

SEPTA will present an award bimonthly at predetermined SEPTA meetings to a Fairfield community member chosen from nominations submitted by the SEPTA membership. The Appreciation Committee will choose the award recipient and then extend an invitation to the winning nominee and her/his supervisor as appropriate, to receive this award at our next scheduled meeting.

If you are interested in joining the Appreciation Committee, we could use your help!
