Sisters salutes...

• Ann Richardson, Executive Director of the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show:

A huge birthday thank you from Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show to the community of Sisters, our volunteers, sponsors and supporters. A special thanks to the employees of US Bank for their help with our Birthday Gala fundraiser: great bankers make great cashiers! And to everyone who participates in the show in any way, shape or form, thank you!

• David Perkins, Mandarin Teacher at Sisters High School:

I would like to take this opportunity to offer my special thanks to Sisters Rotary for financially supporting our China trip (see story, page 24). The kids all returned safely July 3 after an amazing two weeks in Beijing, Xian and Guangzhou, China.

I truly believe this was a life-changing experience for each and every one of them. Rotary, we couldn't have done this without you! Thank you so much for believing in us and making this trip possible.
