They have been involved in the local family business Lavallee Oil for all of their adult lives. Over 25 years ago they resurrected the Old Home Day Committee celebration after it had been disbanded for years. Year after year they devote countless volunteer hours to keep the tradition going. Without Steve and Pat, there is a great possibility that Old Home Day would have long become a memory in everyone’s eyes. Their enthusiasm, passion and commitment is so contagious that once they ask for your help, they have you hooked for life. Long after everyone else has burnt out Steve and Pat are still going strong. Their hard work and commitment to keeping the Old Home Day event alive for our community should be recognized. In addition to working with Old Home Day, both Pat and Steve have also been active on many various Boards and Committees in Town, hence our reason to award them Pembroke’s Citizens of the year for 2011.
