The Glenville Volunteer Fire Company (GVFC) will mark the tenth anniversary of presenting the David N. Theis Award for Outstanding Service to the Community by honoring William H. “Bill” Nickerson for his history of service to the town of Greenwich.

His dedication exemplifies the spirit of Dave Theis, and the Glenville Volunteer Firefighters are excited to recognize his hard work on behalf of our town and honor Bill with this year’s award.
