Charlton Brings The Bubbly, And We Don’t Mean Champagne
by Tahra Doll, Office Coordinator Whether it’s volunteering at the Home & Garden Show, Parade of Homes or Golf Outings, Elana Charlton undoubtedly shows up, smiling and ready to pitch in. That’s why the HBA of F-M selected her as the recipient of the 2020 Extra Mile Award. Charlton was selected from a group of four members who received “member of the quarter” honors throughout the year. This quarterly recognition gives the HBA staff an opportunity to shine a spotlight on members who consistently go above and beyond the call of duty, eagerly volunteering their time for the betterment of the Association while promoting it within the community. As current chair of the Parade of Homes Committee, Charlton’s volunteerism can always be relied upon, and her bubbly personality brings a level of energy to everything she does that is contagious to those around her.
