MaryJane got a phone call from Cecil Andrus HIMSELF the other day -- he's the former 4-term Idaho governor who, along with former senator Frank Church, is responsible for the designation of wilderness areas all over the West & Alaska. Since 2005, Andrus gives out two awards every year to Westerners, one rural & one urban, and MJ is the RURAL recipient for 2008!
Congratulations, MJ!!!
Here's more info about the award:
"With the annual Cecil D. Andrus Leadership Awards for Sustainability and Conservation, Sustainable Northwest recognizes leading examples of successful entrepreneurship in pursuit of sustainability in the American Northwest.
Andrus Leadership Awards are awarded to individuals, businesses, non-profit organizations, or collaborative, community-based efforts that exemplify leadership in pursuit of sustainability – with a demonstrated commitment to conservation of the environment, service to the community, adaptability and innovation, and to leading others on a similar sustainable path."

I bet Cecil Andrus was just adorable, he is such a legend here in the Northwest! How very special to have him and the wonderful community in Portland honor your work Mary Jane- you deserve every bit of that love and admiration;)
Congratulations- Rebekka
