The 2018 Kate Awards
This week we awarded the 2018 Kathleen Walsh Richardson Citizenship Awards, a.k.a. The Kate Awards, to a fantastic group of high school students here on the Eastern Shore. These young folks were awarded for their volunteerism, citizenship, and community involvement in the memory of Kate Richardson, a founding member of No Limits who was an extremely active volunteer herself. Featured below are pictures from the 2018 Kate Awards Ceremony.
