Announced earlier this month by The Marshalltown Federation of Women’s Clubs in collaboration with Marshalltown Chamber of Commerce and the Historical Society of Marshall County, Lynne Carroll is the 2nd recipient of the Jessie Binford Advocate for Youth Award.
Carroll spent the last nearly two decades working for Heart of Iowa Big Brothers Big Sisters and working with youth.
As the director, many times Carroll would be doing administration work and making sure all the I’s are dotted and T’s are crossed but she would always make time for youth.
Carroll will receive her award officially tonight with a dinner at the Binford House. Carroll retired from Big Brothers Big Sisters at the end of July last year and has since enjoyed spending more time at home and caring for her family.
