Decibels wins the prize at the CLASSY Awards in San Diego.
I’ve been keeping track of Decibels Foundation and their quest for a CLASSY, and am so happy to tell you they WON! Yes, all their hard work paid off and they brought home the award for Most Successful Fundraiser by a Group. On Sept. 17, Decibels was in San Diego for the third annual CLASSY Awards, the Oscars for philanthropy. The project they were entered for was the Blanchard School’s sixth grade roll-a-thon, which raised $20,000 for the Minute Man Arc Early Intervention program for babies with hearing loss. They had collected enough votes and jumped enough hurdles to be one of the top 10 contenders in their category for the top prize, and happily they beat the other nine competitors. What does this mean? Well, it means $10,000, which …

An update on locals recognized for their efforts.
I’m so happy to report that our efforts paid off with regards to Decibels Foundation and the CLASSY Awards: they received enough votes to make the Top 10 Finalists for Most Successful Fundraiser by an Individual or Group. This means they’ll be heading to the third annual CLASSY Awards ceremony on Sept. 17 in San Diego, where a combination of public votes and a decision by a panel of industry professionals will determine whether they will win in their category. This means national recognition, and an opportunity for cash and prizes, for the Decibels Foundation, and the Early Intervention program they support at MinuteMan Arc here in Concord. I can’t wait to hear how they do! I’ll be rooting for them. EMACT Dash Awards I told you several …

Decibels is looking for votes for the CLASSY Awards.
I know it’s been a little muggy lately, and that makes some people a bit cranky. But I have to say, I like to take a little memory of these hot and sticky days and put it away in a corner of my brain to take out again in January, when it’s bone-chillingly cold and I’m wrapped in fleece with just my nose sticking out. Really, it’s just four months with heat of any sort before we’re right back in the lap of winter. Unless, of course, you “hop a plane and go to Florida," as Maureen suggests. A while back, I extolled the virtues of places in town where you could escape the heat with a little AC. But I think it’s also important to know of a few places where you can sit quietly outdoors, and enjoy all that nature has to offer, preferably without…
