KTB Volunteer of the Year!!!

Woo-hoo!!! GOOOO Green!!

I have been anxiously awaiting the announcement of Keep TEXAS Beautiful's Volunteer of the Year and I can't tell you the flood of emotions I felt when scrolling down the 3 page document of all the KTB awards given out today and read that I had received the great honor and title!!

I am so thankful for everyone who has encouraged and helped me along the way. You will see us on TV someday!!

And, in honor of the SNL skits with Cheri Oteri & Will Farrell as Spartan cheerleaders, I'd like to leave you with a cheer:

"Who's that lookin' happy and green?

It's Green Girl, It's Green Girl!"

(I know I'm completely silly but I really do think I'm a kid at heart.)

  8. AWWWW Susan, that is fantastic! So proud of your efforts and everything you do to keep us (and apparently the whole state of Texas) educated on what we can do to help. Thank you and your sweet family for all your sacrifices! Im going green one plastic baby food container at time and I even make a lot of my baby food but you can forget going green on the diaper side of things....I'll do extra on everything else!
    Congratulations!
