Scott and Trina Scrivner are this year’s first recipients of the Friends of the Berryville Library’s Carla Youngblood Award. This award recognizes individuals for their acts of kindness to the community.
The Scrivners were surprised when league volleyball at the Berryville Community Center was suspended momentarily on Monday, March 13, for the Friends of the Berryville Library to present Scott and Trina their award in front of their many peers.
The Scrivners are well known to families who have been involved in any of the children or adult baseball, softball, volleyball, corn hole and horseshoe tournaments. Scott has volunteered countless hours preparing fields, setting up league brackets and taking the time to coach in the leagues even when he didn’t have a child on the team. His wife, Trina, has spent countless hours operating the concession stand at both the ballfield and community center for events. For the past two years, they have also assisted the Historical Society with Pioneer Days, hosting both corn hole and horseshoe tournaments. Scott and Trina are both Berryville High School graduates and live in Berryville. They have two adult sons.
According to nominators and community members Kristi Matzeder and James ‘Chop’ Presley: “Those who have interacted with or worked alongside Scott and Trina know that their positivity, and the smiles they share are heartwarming. It makes my heart happy to see them receive this prestigious award because they both work so hard to make this community a better place.” Friends of the Berryville Library Treasurer Karen Johnson said: “The Scrivners truly exemplify the meaning of this award. They are continually working hard behind the scenes to offer activities to enjoy. Their evening corn hole and horseshoe leagues bring people into this community from all over and you can always count on Scott and Trina to be busy working behind the scenes making sure all the details go off without a hitch. It is selfless actions like these that make this such a great community, and we are happy to shine a light on all their hard work and dedication.”
The Friends began recognizing individuals in the community who have quietly made a difference several years ago. Issued quarterly, the award is named after Carla Youngblood, who served the community as a librarian at the Berryville Library for many years.
As the latest recipient of the Carla Youngblood award, Scott and Trina Scrivner will receive a complimentary membership to the Friends of the Berryville Library and a $50 award to a non-profit of their choice. Their name also will be displayed on a perpetual plaque that hangs prominently in the Berryville Library.
