Violet Richardson Award

The Violet Richardson Award is a leadership program that recognizes young women for their work as volunteer leaders in their community. The girls honored by the Violet Richardson Award need not be the smartest girls in school or outstanding athletes or active in other school activities. Instead, they should be girls who have demonstrated leadership and initiative in identifying a problem in their communities or the world and have worked hard to address the problem.

If you know a young lady that fits this criteria please email me at suestoehr@hotmail.com

We have extended our deadline to Jan. 1, 2013.

I wonder how much this `re-branding' cost?? Perhaps the City of UP could get a deal on what they…Read More want to spend on `re-branding'! It still sounds like Tacoma is the preferred branch of Pierce County - that is, why is not `Pierce County Chamber of Commerce' - and what is the implied difference between `west side' and `south county' ? And, of course, that begs the question - is there an` east side' and a `north county' that is being ignored?? I don't know why I am so confused..maybe because their new logo has a haunting resemblance to that of a former company that went bankrupt... And, lastly, let us hope that `business in motion' is moving into our county, and not out of it..
