Rep. Dittrich was honored to present Marshall resident, Ava Ruechel (daughter of Village Administrator Adam Ruechel) with a citation celebrating her service this summer to raise funds for stuffed animals to comfort kids in the ER. The Police Chief shared that Ava's work has also provided local first responders with stuffed animals to comfort kids in traumatic situations.
