Alicia Archibald Wins Sustainability Award
Receiving this award came as such a shock. It feels wonderful to know that a decade of volunteering and community service work has been acknowledged by such wonderful people who work even harder than I do. This community has so many opportunities to become involved and create the community we desire. I hope that we have many more award winners in the coming years!
