Ossining Rotary Club Recognizes Patricia Michalko as Bethel’s Employee of the Year
OSSINING – Ms. Patricia Michalko, a Bethel employee and resident of Ossining, was honored last night at the Ossining Rotary Club’s Annual Scholarship Fundraiser upon being named Bethel’s Employee of the Year for embodying the club’s motto, “Service Above Self.”
Nominated by Ms. Beth Goldstein, Bethel’s CEO, Ms. Michalko is the Leasing Coordinator at The Pines Independent Senior Living Residence & Lead Concierge at Bethel’s Ossining campus, and has worked for the organization for 26 years. Says Ms. Goldstein, “Ms. Michalko always demonstrates professionalism, compassion and flexibility in all that she does on behalf of Bethel. She multi-tasks with grace whether she is giving tours of The Pines apartments, participating in campus events or being a friendly ear with whom residents can share their news each day.”
Ms. Goldstein continued, “She is a dedicated employee who always goes beyond what is asked of her to ensure each resident’s well-being. Ms. Michalko’s integrity and kindness are greatly appreciated by all who know her and we are delighted she has received this well-deserved recognition.”
During the event, held at the Shattemuc Yacht Club, Ms. Michalko was one of six recipients who received this recognition from their respective Ossining employers. The evening also featured a Silent Auction from which the proceeds will go to support the five Rotary Club scholarships awarded each year to graduating seniors from Ossining High School.
