For your service ruth, and i think the commissioners also wanted to say a few words and we have a little certificate and token of our appreciation. We will just go from left to right. So ruth, i want to say, you know, since i was in the ones that wrote the resolutions to have the Parent Advisory Council, i think that it was you that took the baton and just ran with it, with your deep commitment to parent voice and attending all of these late night meetings we always see you, sometimes you are the only one in the audience and i have seen you so many times just sit with parents and prep them.

Certificate. I am totally shocked and really appreciative. And i was saying to maranda before how much i love that part of commendations are thanking the people that they are getting recognized for and that is truly how i feel about the pack. I have worked hard over the last eight years and i am proud of what we have accomplished but it was my job. I got paid to do that. I felt that i was accountable for doing a good job at what i was doing. And everybody on the pack is a volunteer.

That shatters previous records. The number of people waking up in the hospital this morning, also breaks records. In utah, there is not one
