It is informative, truthful, and starts insightful discussion. People are not afraid to comment about local municipal and school government.
I am in shock. I had no idea. I never win anything! Is there someone out there who can tell me more about this award? I don't know who to thank. Oh my gosh, I am so excited! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Correction: Lebo Citizens was nominated for this award in the "Local Affairs" category.
Congratulations, Elaine! You deserve it.

Congratulations Elaine, its well deserved considering the sweat, and the time you've committed and abuse you've endured.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, MTL magazine will follow suit.

Someone here on Lebo Citizens likes to quote the Beatles. The lyrics going through my head right now are, "yes I get by with a little help from my friends." I get sent so much information. I don't do it alone. Thanks goes out to you folks.

Elaine,
ReplyDeleteYou deserve recognition for all your hard work and effort to support important and necessary dialogue in Mt. Lebanon. When your other efforts to affect change in our community hit brick walls, you became more creative and reached to the social media for a solution. Trying to do the right thing comes from within; we both know conviction has its price. Just always remember, you have made a difference here!
-Charlotte Stephenson
I wonder now if people might consider this one Beatle classic now:
ReplyDelete"Try to see it my way,
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?
While you see it your way,
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone.
Chorus:
We can work it out,
We can work it out.
Verse #2
Think of what you're saying.
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's all right.
Think of what I'm saying,
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night.
Chorus:
We can work it out,
We can work it out.
Bridge:
Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend.
I have always thought that it's a crime,
So I will ask you once again.
Verse #3
Try to see it my way,
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong.
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long.
Chorus:
We can work it out,
We can work it out."
A friend!
I should sing that at the School Board meeting. Maybe the Board will join in the chorus. Ha! Good one, friend!

ReplyDeleteOK, Lebo Citizens was nominated for the Most Valuable Blogger Award in the Local Affairs category. I didn't win, but still honored to be nominated. I am glad that people outside of the bubble are watching the shenanigans going on here in Mt. Lebanon.
ReplyDeleteI see that Sadie Stang's blog, "pj's and clay and autism..oh my" was nominated in the Lifestyle and Family category. Tom Moertel had written about Sadie, another blogger holding the School District accountable, in a October 26, 2010 post. Congratulations, Sadie!

Fantastic, Elaine !
ReplyDeleteI assume the nomination included consideration of your connected "Concerned Citizens of Mt. Lebanon" with all the Podcasts, and tracking history which by itself is a treasure.

Congradulations Lebo Citizens...indeed the podcasts are jewels. Especially the vintage ones. Having the podcasts for folks to listen to are priceless and no one can forget what was said as years go by. If anyone has old school board meetings DVD'd or DVR'd let Elaine know so they can be put on as a podcast. I encourage everyone to listen to the old podcasts of school board meetings. Sue Dixon
