Marsascala culture activist and committee member Alfred Debono was singled out by the council for his untiring efforts towards culture during a get-together at the village parish hall.
Surrounded by his family and other helpers, Debono was presented with a dgħajsa tal-Latini in silver filigree by mayor Mario Calleja, who praised his precious work within the locality, even during his recent brief stay in hospital.
Calleja said Debono’s outstanding role within the council should serve as an example to those who had the community’s good at heart.
