Downtown Superstar is BACK, baby!
We took a short break but we are thrilled to be recognizing a new Downtown Superstar each month. A Downtown Superstar is someone who goes above and beyond to help in the forward progress of downtown, making it feel welcoming to all and bringing a positive light to our community. A Downtown Superstar can be a business owner/staff, volunteer, or group. You can send nominations to director@ellensburgdowntown.org.
Volunteers of the Month – Distinguished Young Women of Ellensburg
We have had the great pleasure of working with the Distinguished Young Women of Ellensburg at our annual Teddy Bear Tea event for many years. This group is truly top notch and gives you the upmost faith that “kids these days” are hardworking, thoughtful, professional, and generous. This year, we were able to work with Tess Preppernau, Madison Thompson, Sophie Hanson and Annie Kang, four wonderful young women who showed excitement and dedication in their volunteer work.
Volunteer of the Month – August
Dawn Alford, Organization Committee
Our August Volunteer of the Month is someone who shines bright and brings a positive energy to each committee meeting. You’ve more than likely seen Dawn volunteering at EDA events, strolling throughout CWU’s campus, or passing by on a local trail. While she is fairly new to the community, she has wasted no time finding her happy places.
Volunteer of the Month – July
Matt Stephens
Strong volunteers bring a skill set and/or connections to your organization that you might not otherwise posses. They bring things to the table, whether that be ideas or physical resources, that help to further the mission and serve the community.
Volunteer of the Month – May
Cait Dalton
We are happy to feature Cait Dalton as our May Volunteer of the Month. Cait first got involved with the EDA as a Promotions Committee member and has since become the Committee Chair. Recently, Cait also joined the EDA’s Board of Directors. It seems even more fitting to feature Cait at this time, as she is also a wonderful mother to two adorable kiddos, and we want to wish her a happy Mother’s Day all month long!
