In October, 2006 the NC Center for Nonprofits presented us with their "Nonprofit Sector Stewardship Award." The Center annually recognizes North Carolina non-profit organizations "for their exemplary stewardship of the resources entrusted to them." Center President Jane Kendall and Board member Doris Stith presented the award at the Center's annual statewide conference.
