To the editor:

Thank you for The Review’s coverage the 11th Annual Compassionate Action Awards ceremony. At this wonderful event, Bainbridge Youth Services recognizes the exceptional volunteer work that island youth are doing in our community.

Unfortunately, a few individuals who were part of group projects were omitted from the program and ceremony, and thus your coverage. So I wanted to give a shout-out to the following individuals, who have since received their awards: Trey Lehotsky with the Downtown Flower Basket Watering Crew; plus Mikaila O’Brien and Amanda Seifert with The 2012 Ambassadors Program.

We greatly value these teens who exemplify service, integrity, courage and stewardship in our community.
