Caron Center Honors Kristen
We’re all very proud of Kristen, who got some publicity for doing something good for the community, not for just standing in front of the supermarket like some people. 
From the Washington paper Metro Weekly: Local resident Kristen Degan was honored with a ”Research Award” from the Caron Drug & Alcohol Treatment Center, at the organization’s Fourth Annual Washington Metropolitan Area Community Service Awards Breakfast on Friday, June 27. Degan was praised for her work with the D.C. Crystal Meth Working Group (DCCMWG) and for a survey the group conducted on methamphetamine use in Washington. http://www.metroweekly.com/gauge/?ak=3627
Wow, that community survey is a major achievement — congratulations! Public health in action!
YAY! That’s great, Kristen! I had no idea you were so involved – you are such an inspiration to others. You’re one of those rare people who just does the right thing purely for the goodness of the world; not many people can say they do that. I feel like I should do something good when I get back to Seattle, like go voluntarily paint my across-the-street neighbor’s house. Oh wait – that would really be more for me than for them. Never mind.
Nice work Kristen!
