KKBN Goodie Award Winner (05/16/12)

Congratulations to this week’s KKBN Goodie Award Winner: Dennis Watson

My husband and I used a gift certificate that we received to go to the movies a few Saturdays ago at the Regal Theaters in Sonora. This was a real treat for us because he has been out of work and we are still not receiving unemployment benefits. Of course one must have popcorn at the movies so as I dug through my wallet to give the hubby some cash, two 100 dollar bills that I had stashed to pay a bill tumbled out of my wallet onto the dark theater floor. It was two days later before I discovered the money was gone and of course I was devistated! I retraced my steps and the only thing I could come up with was it must have fallen out of my wallet at the movies but what were the chances that anybody would find two 100 dollar bills in a dark theater in this economy and turn it in? I called the theater and spoke with a manager who excitedly informed me that the cash was turned in by one of their employees! What were the chances of that happening? Dennis Watson is my hero!

Regal Cinemas is lucky to have an employee with such outstanding integrity. I will never forget this experience and will always hold him dear to my heart. I assure you that good things come to those who live with such ethics and morals! By the way, the movie we went to see? The Lucky One! This however had nothing to do with luck and everything to do with the integrity and kindness of one man. Thank you so much Dennis! You are truly deserving of the goodie award!

Congratulations to this week’s KKBN Goodie Award Winner: Mrs. Elinore Burns

As the Head of the Sonora Regional Medical Centers Patient Advocate Volunteer Program, Elinore touches more lives than most, all out of love and compassion. Elinore volunteers many hours a month to ensure that our program positively affects patients at SMRC, as well as the other Volunteers that donate their time in service of patient’s needs. Elinore is our guiding light. I know that she has inspired me to be a better less selfish person, to look outward in the service of those that need help. She gives good council and Elinore can light up a room just by entering. Many young women would do well to use this wonderful lady as a role model of beauty poise, grace, and selfless giving. To say that she is merely good may not be enough, but Greatie award winner sounds funny.
