Congratulations to the Port of Everett

Found this snippet of news this morning about the Port of Everett in the Mukilteo Beacon's website:

On March 12, the Port of Everett received the "Best of Industry" award for local government from the United Way of Snohomish County. The Port’s Facilities and Security Director Scott Grindy also received a nomination for campaign manager of the year.
In 2008, in partnership with local businesses, the Port of Everett raised $12,246 for the United Way of Snohomish County. Each year, the Port employees find fun and innovative ways to raise money to support the United Way’s mission. Through weekly raffles and the port’s annual fundraising event, staff works hard to raise awareness about the importance of giving.
Port employees contributed $10,532 through payroll deductions, and also raised $1,599 through a silent auction. This is $1,981 more than last year’s fundraising efforts. These donations are used to help fund more than 114 programs and 49 agencies in Snohomish County, including the Red Cross, Boys and Girls Clubs, and the 211-resource hotline.
