Three people crucial to Langley’s business community were honored by Mayor Fred McCarthy with his signature pin system  Monday, during the council’s regular meeting.

Fred Lundahl, owner of Music for the Eyes and a chamber of commerce and Main Street Association board member, was presented with pin 37, representing the Mayor’s Excellence Award. McCarthy said the award was merited because of Lundahl’s involvement in a handful of activities and groups in Langley, which also includes the Second Street Market and Langley Whale Center.

Like golden stars passed out to students, the former school district superintendent turned mayor began a recognition system using pins after taking office in 2013.

Sharon Lundahl, Fred’s wife, also received a certificate for her pin issued in 2014. She had earlier received pin 7 for photography and social media skills used to promote Langley. 

Marc Esterly, the recently retired Langley Chamber of Commerce executive director, received pin 38. He served as the chamber’s director from 2011 until he retired earlier this year.
