John Dorey's leadership services provided outstanding value to the community. His leadership with DeRail the Trail produced a beach trail that is used by San Clemente residents and millions of visitors and vacationers coming to San Clemente. John and the committee worked very hard over several years to create the kind of beach trail that was safe and beautiful for all.
John also worked very hard with the Quiet Zone Committee to silence or at least reduce the volume of warning sounds coming from passing trains. This was a significant milestone for San Clemente for of a quieter, more peaceful experience for residents and visitors of this beautiful, scenic and natural stretch of San Clemente’s coast.
John is not only an outstanding leader, but he also works incredible hard at making sure every detail is taken care of at hthe events. From serving popcorn for the Friends of San Clemente events (Springtacular, Cinco de Mayo, Santa's Snow Hill), cleans tables and chairs at the Carnival Colossal, puts up golf tee signs and popup tents for the Friends Foundation Golf Tournament, hangs banners, just to name a few things.
5. Additional Comments (optional):
3 John Dorey has spent the last 26 years giving his time, energy and experience to the improvement of the City of San Clemente. The hours John has given to the projects he's worked on are invaluable. Beginning is 1998 with the Coastal Trail (DeRail the Trail) until today, still active on the Friends of San Clemente Foundation Board and the Sports Wall of Fame, he has worked very hard on all the projects he commits to.
The San Clemente Wall of Recognition has many great names on the wall, all have given so much to the City of San Clemente, and it would be fitting to include John Dorey with the prestigious group of individuals.
