Award from Governor

2-11-2010 Mom received the COMMENDATION for distinguished public service from Governor C.L. 'BUTCH' OTTER for her many years of dedicated service to the People of the Great State of Idaho. This certificate & letter are displayed in Mom & Dad's entry in a beautiful frame. (Sweet Aunt Denise Romriell came over as she does almost daily, saw the award & proclaimed it needed to be framed & did exactly that, had it professionally matted & framed. So thoughtful!)

Among many, MANY of her endeavours was the Lava Foundation. As referenced by this letter from Gov. Otter:
"Your many achievements are evidence of a lifetime spent changing the worked around you for the better. The fact that you have retained your position on the Lave Hot Sp[rings Foundation Board of Directors since Gov. Phil Batt appointed you in 1998 shows the confidence the Idaho Legislature and several governors have had in you. It was truly well placed.
Leslie, you have stood out among your fellow citizens in your service to the citizens in your service to the State, and your accomplishments have not gone unnoticed. You are a shining example of dedication to one's community, and i am grateful you have given your talents to Idaho over the years."

We couldn't be prouder! ~Joanne
