Rep. Ruth Kagi wins award from foster parents association

 At their annual Night of 1000 Dreams banquet in Lacey, Washington on January 18, the Statewide Foster Parent Association presented awards to 14 individuals they consider to be champions of the state's foster parents; thereby improving the quality of life for the state's foster children.

Receiving the award for the Foster Parent Association of Washington Elected Officials of the Year were Rep. Ruth Kagi and Rep. Maureen Walsh. Rep. Walsh is from Walla Walla.

Rep. Kagi represents Shoreline and Lake Forest Park from the 32nd Legislative District to the Washington state House of Representatives.

Not everyone can be a foster parent, but we can come together to help assure that all children have a safe and nurturing family experience while in the hands of Washington State citizens. Together we can show respect and support to the families choosing to provide such experiences by partnering with them to assure each child’s dream comes true.
