"Kiwi Award" for Altrusan of the Month - August 2011

L to R: nominees Karen Connor and Ginny Spaven (wearing Kiwi necklace) with club President, Diane Winger

 After our club received a lovely necklace from our distinguished Altrusa visitors from New Zealand, we wanted to do something special with it. For the remainder of this fiscal year, our members may nominate other Altrusans within our club for a Kiwi Award for their service to Altrusa of Montrose. One of the nominees will be selected at random each month to be given the honor of wearing the necklace that month.

In August, the following two Altrusans were honored with these nominations:

- I nominate Ginny Spaven because she has brought exceptional business acumen, leadership strength, devotion and integrity to all the ways she helps Altrusa — and she does this so unobtrusively!

- I nominate Karen Connor for taking on the task of the newsletter.

Ginny was selected to wear the Paua (New Zealand abalone shell) necklace for August 2011. Congratulations and many thanks to this month's nominees.
