our many dedicated volunteers with a catered lunch, drinks and dessert. The Friday Enchilada cooking crew re-
ceived the Golden Spoon Award, B.J. Swaney was MOW’s volunteer of the year, Don Damp was volunteer of the
year and Maureen Borden received a special award for going above and beyond to help us with all aspects of the
operations at Plowshares. We held a special celebration for Rhonda De Los Santos’s 20th Anniversary as opera-
tions Manager at Plowshares. She received a rousing standing ovation from all who attended.
“The moon would on occasion try to usurp the sun’s majesty (mouse rides on tiger tail, no blame)
Although the sun never says to the moon ‘You owe me’, as if it were a job he is doing that he should complain.”
