ELDERSBURG, MD — Without community leaders, Eldersburg Patch wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from Martin Bonura, an Eldersburg Patch reader who nominated Lion Past District Governor Susan Bonura.

The South Carroll Lioness-Lions Club received two recognitions by the Eldersburg Patch in August 2023 based on her years as president.

She believes that service as a Lion is her full-time job. She succeeds at ever job she is given. She is also a great wife.
