SHIFT – AND AWARDS – HAPPENEDED >>>

Last night the Weekly Volcano received the Community Stewardship 2011 award from Go Local Tacoma during the Shift Happens event at the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center. Go Local President Patricia Lecy-Davis commended the Volcano on its community involvement, its dedication to championing Tacoma and its support of all things "cool," handing the award to co-publisher Ron Swarner.

"There are so many cool things happening in our beloved city, and I want everyone to have the chance to be a part of them," says Swarner. "Last night's impressive turnout, Mayor Marilyn Strickland's State of the City address, the energy - I left Shift Happens proud of our city, and especially proud of our weekly newspaper. I would like to thank Go Local Tacoma from my heart."

The Weekly Volcano, and its parent company Swarner Communications, is a founding member of Go Local Tacoma.
