G-T worthy reflection of community

Published 9:03 am Thursday, October 25, 2012

Dear Editor,

You and your staff at the Okanogan Valley Gazette-Tribune are worthy recipients of the first place award you were given by the WNPA. Knowing the time you have spent as a concerned and involved community leader and editor, this award recognized accomplishments you and your paper have been performing for years.

No matter the size of a newspaper publication, the importance to the community reflects the integrity and enthusiasm of the editor and staff. Be proud of your reflection.
