At its 2014 Student Success Campaign Community Breakfast on Thursday, November 6, 2014, the Shoreline Community College Foundation awarded its annual Distinguished Service Award to Diane Hettrick, Editor of the Shoreline Area News.
The award was presented by Stephanie Santeford, SCC Foundation President, and Jim Hills, SCC Special Assistant to the president, Communication and Marketing.
In his remarks, Hills said "I often think of a community as a fabric, woven of many threads. A community is strong when the threads are strong and the weave is tight. Diane Hettrick is one of those strong threads. And the work she does makes sure the weave is tight."
Hettrick said "Shoreline and Lake Forest Park are full of wonderful people, working hard to make our community a better place. I am grateful that people are willing to take the time to share their stories, events, and activities through the Shoreline Area News and pleased that people find value in what they read there."
The SCC Foundation Breakfast raises money to help Shoreline CC students meet their financial challenges so they can stay in school and finish their programs. It offers scholarships, emergency grants, and advice to SCC students in need.
I was president of the SCC Foundation when Diane Hettrick's name was brought forward as a recommendation for this distinguished service award; there was no hesitation; a motion was made, it was seconded and approved by unanimous consent with enthusiastic discussion. That was a good decision as it's very well deserved.
