Readers select Community CornerstoneJanuary 2007 marked the first in a series of "Community Cornerstone" features published in the Fossil Creek Current. Each month, the newspaper featured a person who has made significant, selfless contributions to the community. The Fossil Creek Current staff invited readers to suggest people who should be recognized for improving the well-being of others in their sphere of influence. Linda Maher received the most reader votes at the conclusion of this year-long project. The Fossil Creek will give a donation to a charity of her choosing. |
