The Man Behind the Curtain Gets Called Out By the YMCA

Our fearless leader Russ Stoddard received a major award from the Treasure Valley YMCA this week—the Vern Emery Award for outstanding volunteer leadership. According to the YMCA, the recipient "must demonstrate the personal qualities so characteristic of Vern, including caring, compassion, strong leadership and initiative, optimistic, positive attitude, sense of humor, ability to be a role model, ability to praise and build self-esteem in others, and ability to be a friend to all.” That sums up Russ well.
