Posted by Jon Winston

Congratulations to Bernice Robertson on being honored as one of this years Jefferson Award recipients! Read the March 30th 2008 Santa Cruz Sentinel page 2 article on Bernice.

The American Institute for Public Service was founded in 1972 to establish a nationally recognized award for community and public service called the Jefferson Award.

The award is named for President Thomas Jefferson who said, "When any original act of charity or of gratitude, for instance, is presented either to our sight or imagination, we are deeply impressed with its beauty and feel a strong desire in ourselves of doing charitable and grateful acts also."

KSBW-TV8, HSBC Card Services and Salinas Valley Healthcare System are proud to announce the honorees of the 2008 Jefferson Awards. Each have been selected in recognition of their outstanding community efforts as volunteers.
