Okay Andrea W. here goes...

My company was nominated for mid-sized business of the year at the annual Chamber of Commerce Banquet on last night.  However, we did not win, but it was an honor to be among the nominees and we will try again next year.

Guess what?  To my surprise...I WON THE VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR AWARD 2008!!! I have always been passionate about volunteering and I challenge each of you to volunteer and pay it forward within your communities.  It is truly a rewarding experience.

Here is the link to my photos from last evening:

I am off to a great weekend because my son graduates from college on tomorrow!

People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. ~Author Unknown

An accomplishment like this deserves bragging rights, and I'm so glad you posted. I admire your dedication to volunteering and helping others.

Congrats to your son as well!
