- Matthieu Poiret, President of the association Aniwild.
Matthieu Poiret created the Aniwild association with friends 3 years ago. This has 3 poles. “We have an awareness center. We will go to schools, recreation centers, talk with them for 1 hour, 1 hour 30 minutes about his actions. There is really an exchange and, each time, it is very rich and very structured. “
The second pole, entitled “action”, concerns the implementation of projects such as, for example, a vegetable garden in the Saint-Léger district, installation of insect hotels or even nesting boxes.
The last pole, “animation” includes the organization, every year, of a festival over 2 days, for young people, during which their actions for the protection of the environment are highlighted.
“I was very surprised. This Golden Sun, I do not consider it only for myself but really for the whole team working behind it, whether it is the thirty or so volunteers or the ten members who work on it on a daily basis. I am very happy that Saint-Germain can highlight the actions of young people and also the protection of the environment because it is a subject that should affect everyone. I hope that through this Golden Sun we will be able to highlight our actions even more. “
- Annie Divaret-Hepburn, member of the board of directors of Saint-Germain-en-Laye / Ayr twinning (Scotland).
Scottish by origin, she explains that she makes her contribution to bring the traditions and customs of her country.
“In Scotland, we say: ‘To see ourselves as others see us. »Seeing yourself through the eyes of others. I am convinced that these international relations and dialogue are very important. It is still a very moving moment for me to receive this Golden Sun. I am very touched. And above all, I would like to emphasize that the vitality and dynamism of all these organizations are achieved through teamwork where people bring their talent and creativity. “
- Roselle Cros, former local and national elected representative, who marked the life of the Saint-Germanoise, Yvelines and hexagonal city.
Former first deputy mayor of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, former regional councilor of Île-de-France and former senator of Yvelines, she is committed to Saint-Germain-en-Laye at 3 levels.
“At the local level, I was keen to favor listening, participation, dialogue, meetings with residents and associations. As a counselor for Île-de-France, I mainly worked to find, for Saint-Germain, financial aid for its projects. I am thinking in particular of the media library, the development of green spaces. At the national level, I have always given Saint-Germain as an example. I am very proud and very honored because a decoration like this allows to honor not one person but the whole team with whom she has worked. “
- Niamé Fatoumata Brunin, president of the association All at school in Mali (such).
The association works for the education of underprivileged children in Mali by giving priority to the education of young girls and children with disabilities. Its action is through the establishment of sponsorships and, today, there are 185 children to benefit from this device, including 105 little girls.
“The majority of our godmothers and godfathers are Saint-Germanois and, in recent years, we have been able to collect school materials, clothes, shoes and toys and also hygiene products for these children. Receiving this Golden Sun is a feeling of satisfaction for me and especially of gratitude towards me. For me, this remains a civic commitment. There is a phrase that I really like to say: if everyone took a little of their time to serve others, the world would be a better place. “
- François Resnier, referring physician for the vaccination center intercommunal.
Colonel of the Yvelines Departmental Fire and Rescue Service (Sdis 78), François Resnier was entrusted by the City with all the logistical organization of the intercommunal vaccination center which opened on January 18 in the premises of the Espace Pierre-Delanoë in Fourqueux.
“I absolutely wanted this center to be friendly, welcoming, for all the people who come by to be vaccinated to be in a benevolent atmosphere with the easiest possible flow of passage. I have always invested in public service, in helping others. It is a great honor that I am given knowing that, yes, I am very honored to receive this distinction but it mainly reflects for all the people who invest in the realization of this center and in their altruism and their commitment. . “
- Yves Welker, head of the infectious and tropical diseases department at thePoissy-Saint-Germain hospital.
By virtue of his specialty, Yves Welker has had to work closely with the City since the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Quite quickly, we made decisions for the elderly, for nursing homes. And, in fact, the number of visits was limited much more quickly than what was subsequently recommended. “
With the establishment of the first confinement, the doctor was associated with reflections aimed at “so that, despite everything, there is life”.
“It was the reopening of open spaces such as forests, how to reorganize the market, and it was how to structure things so that it could be done in the best conditions. It has always been common sense reasoning. My goal has been to inform and train. So it was information for the public, information for my colleagues. I have never run after distinctions. Me, I am a sportsman, therefore the medals that I win, I win them by fighting because it is judo and rugby. I am very flattered, very proud. “
–They live in Fourqueux and receive a Golden Fern.
- Anne Balleraud, president of the association Library of Fourqueux.
This associative library, located within the Espace Pierre-Delanoë, was created in 1976. Offering around 13,000 books, it is entirely managed by a team of a dozen volunteers.
“We decide what to buy with, of course, the wishes of the readers. There are, on average, 450 members, adults and children. Culture is important for everyone, regardless of level. It is also a meeting place for people, we are told regularly. Readers also come here to meet and that’s very nice. I’ve lived here for 35 years and I find it a village where we are very well, where we have an extraordinary quality of life. I found it natural and normal to try to participate in this quality and give back a little of what we are given. It is a recognition of the work and the involvement of volunteers in general in our village. “
- Jean-Pierre Lainel, former director of technical services at Fourqueux.
For 40 years in the public service, Jean-Pierre Lainel explains that he has always had the notion of public service.
“Receiving the Golden Fern, of course, is a real honor. It is recognition for the value of public service. Suddenly, this Golden Fern, I would like to share it with my colleagues since I think it is a team effort and that alone I could not have done much. “
