The Jack and Martha Young Community Service Award

SAIL has selected Tabitha Johnston and The Shepherdstown Chronicle for the 2023 Jack and Martha Young Community Service Award. This annual award recognizes the accomplishments of an individual and organization that has furthered SAIL's mission during the past year. We have found Tabitha to be a creative and enthusiastic editor of the newspaper. Under her leadership the Chronicle has been an outstanding example of community outreach with its offering of stimulating stories and special coverage of people, issues, and events in the greater Shepherdstown area.
