Submitted by: Cortland County Board of REALTORS®- The Voice of Real Estate
On January 23, 2019 the Cortland County Board of REALTORS held their Annual REALTOR® Awards Luncheon at GORGERS, Main Street, Cortland. These awards recognized those local REALTOR Members who have reached a Million Dollars in Sales through our MLS System and those who have served the Real Estate Industry within our local area.
The REALTOR® of the Year Award was also presented to Tim Alger, Associate Broker and Past CCBR President with Yaman Real Estate and the President’s Award was presented to Jenna Gregory, Salesperson with Heritage Realty of CNY.
The Community Hero Award was presented to John Tobin. “Anyone that does anything to help children is a HERO to me.” -John McNerney, City of Cortland Youth Bureau Director, describing what the word Hero means to him. He continued, “There is no greater Hero in Cortland than John Tobin when it comes to supporting kids and childhood development.”
John has spent more than 50 years as a key contributor to the Cortland Youth Bureau programs, having started his coaching career at the age of 14. He has been a fixture at local parks and youth sports programs for decades.
One of John’s long time friends added, “John gives personally not only of his time but his resources. He purchases equipment such as shoes, gloves, etc. to help those kids who might otherwise not be able to participate without the required equipment.”- Joe Burns
Tobin is a retired Parker Elementary School teacher. He has supervised summer baseball, Tee Ball, Pee Wee, Grasshopper, Babe Ruth and American Legion squads and currently is a fundraiser for the Cortland Baseball Club. He has been involved with Cortland Small Fry Football and Youth Basketball for over 30 years.
“Chances are if you have ever played a youth sport in Cortland you have a fond memory of John Tobin.”- McNerney
Congratulations John Tobin and thank you for all that you have done and will continue to do!
