The contributions of Joe Borschowa and his family have been both highly visible and subtle. The local veteran and business owner has been heavily involved with the Mt. Angel Chamber of Commerce, the American Legion and other groups, but hasn’t sought public recognition.
Yet if you’ve ever admired the American flags on display throughout town during Memorial Day and Veterans Day, or enjoyed the Fourth of July parade, you’ve seen the fruits of Borschowa’s volunteerism. He and his family are also heavily involved in the bautiful flower baskets downtown during the summer.
Borschowa has taken on all these roles in addition to owning and operating Main St. Garage and Main St. Towing. Because of this dedication, the chamber honored he and his family with the Helping Hands Award.
“Thank you, Joe Borschowa, for your service to our country and the helping hand you lend to our community,” said the chamber’s release.
