is honored for his work as the stamp club coordinator for children in elementary and middle schools in Elmwood Park. Mr. Ashby volunteers his time to organize these clubs and inspire the children''s interest in the meaning of different stamps and of the images depicted on them. Because stamps represent different national and international leaders and locations, the children in Mr. Ashby''s stamp clubs learn in a fun and unique way about the geography, history, and culture of the nations represented by the stamps that they collect and study.
