[Joelle Lyons Everett]

Friends--

I'd like to share with you the news of another member of the OS community, 
Cheryl Honey, who is being honored today with a 2007 Jefferson Award for her 
work establishing family support networks.   More details, below.

Congratulations, Cheryl!


Today the Seattle Post-Intelligencer newspaper and Microsoft Corp. honor five 
people, including an Antioch University Seattle graduate, who make a 
difference through community service.
  
 Cheryl Honey, who received her B.A. degree in 2006, has been selected to 
receive a 2007 Jefferson Award for her 15 years spent weaving people together to 
create a support system for families. The program, named in honor of President 
Thomas Jefferson, was created nationally in 1972 by Jacqueline Kennedy 
Onassis, Sen. Robert Taft Jr. and economic-development expert Sam Beard. The founders
’ vision was to create an award, similar to a Nobel Prize, for public and 
community service, with a special honor for local service “by ordinary people who 
do extraordinary things.”
  
 Honey and the four other recipients will be honored at a CityClub luncheon 
today at The Westin Hotel. One of them will be chosen to represent the state at 
the national awards ceremony in Washington, D.C.
