THREE CHEERS FOR OUR
#GlenviewGOATS
In sports lingo, someone who is at the top of their game is often referred to as a GOAT, which
stands for Greatest of All Time. But in Glenview lingo, a #GlenviewGOAT can be anyone who is
an essential or front-line worker risking their health to perform their jobs and those who are
finding ways to make a positive impact on our lives right now. #GlenviewGOATs have been out
in our community every day during the COVID-19 crisis doing what needs to be done to keep
us and our friends and neighbors safe.
In May, the Park District asked you to join us on Facebook and Instagram to recognize the
heroes in our community. Malachy "Mal" Mulvihill’s nomination received the most likes and
comments and he received a dinner for four from Coarse Italian.
We thank all of our #GlenviewGOATS for making a difference in both small ways and big,
for being on the front lines of this fight and behind the scenes. You are an inspiration to
us all and we’d like to share their nominations with you!
Katie Nicolau, nominated by Brian Montgomery
Katie is a long-time Glenview resident working as an ICU nurse at a local hospital. In response to COVID-19,
Katie has contributed to caring for patients in the ICU and offering her skills to help in any way possible.
As a front-line health care worker, Katie Nicolau has made a positive impact in our community and is a
#GlenviewGOAT.
Sasha Vassilyeva, nominated by Nick Moran
I chose to nominate Sasha because of her commitment to public health. It's hard enough being an essential
health professional, nonetheless a college student living on her own. Sasha's dedication to her work is
inspiring and I'm incredibly proud of her!
Martha Demko, nominated by Denise Blinick
Martha Demko, a member of the East Wing Glenview Senior Center is in charge of charity crafts in the craft
room. She makes the teddy bears that go to the ER’s of local hospitals. During the pandemic, Martha started
making masks for senior homes, neighbors and anyone who didn’t have one. She donated everything she
made out of the goodness of her heart. Martha is extra special because she turned 98 on Valentine’s Day this
year!!! If you met her, you would never think she is 98. She is one great GOAT!
