Delia Mobley is 2018 Citizen of the Year
Volunteer was driving force in creating homeless shelter
W 022618 ROTARY CITIZEN OF YEAR 01
Delia Mobley heads to the podium after being named the 2018 Citizen of the Year by Statesboro's two Rotary Clubs during their annual luncheon at Forest Heights Country Club on Monday.
When Delia Mobley saw homeless people on the streets of Statesboro, her reaction was not to turn away and pretend the problem did not exist. "The one we honor today is a unique person, very much a 'see a problem, fix a problem' kind of person," Joe McGlamery said, introducing the 2018 Citizen of the Year as recognized jointly by Statesboro's two Rotary Clubs. "This individual had an early understanding that Statesboro had a homeless problem," he said. "Although some of her friends argued otherwise, our honoree did the homework and saw that we have a significant homeless population."
