Congratulations,

As a recipient of The Dawn Johnson Koru Award, I offer my deep and sincere thanks for the achievements which have led to your selection.

My husband Del and I were motivated to establish the award based on the Inner Wheel theme for the 2017/18 year “Leave a Legacy”. Given the state of my health, identified towards the end of 2017, we wanted to provide some means by which the principles that have been my motivation through my life could continue.dawn johnston koru award

I can relate to what you have achieved. My life has been full of challenges, unknown to most people.
However I have enjoyed the opportunities of being able to help others less fortunate.

Your selection as this year’s awardee reflects all that you have overcome, as well as the many things that could have stopped you living a full and productive life. You have been able to help others by example, live life to the fullest and at the same time serve your community.

Please continue to do what you are doing and every time you look at the Koru remember what it represents: new life, positive change, personal growth and hope for the future.

Thank you for being you.
