Hamilton Estates Homeowners exemplify the spirit of this award program by working together and conducting projects to engage residents and serve not only their neighborhood but the entire Derby community.

The nomination stated: “Melvin does all these things out of the goodness of his heart, and his neighbors appreciate the friendship he brings, his watchful eye and the sense of community that has been developed because of him.” He introduces himself to new residents, helps plant flowers, replaces light bulbs and even takes neighbors to doctor’s appointments. Robinson is known in his neighborhood for his friendly and caring attitude and his efforts to build relationships with his neighbors. “Thank you to Melvin Robinson and the residents in Hamilton Estates for making us Derby Proud.” “We were pleased to learn about all the great things happening in our Derby neighborhoods,” said Randy White, Mayor.
