Re: [Mpls] News Flash- David Brauer "Humbled"

[Annie Young]

It was fun to be in the Mpls Issues crowd watching David and Steven get their awards. It was awesome that 4 of the 5 MVP's of last year were there. And it was really cool when Steven asked how many in the audience were on the e-list and a lot of people raised their hands - 1/3 maybe. And it was wonderful to again be part of acknowledging ten people who have given tirelessly to work here in Minneapolis as volunteers, citizen leaders and just plain great people. And, this list really has been a god(ess) send to knowing a lot more about what is happening in Minneapolis from many perspectives. I get more and more Park Board correspondence now both on and off the list.
It was a beautiful night in Minneapolis,
Thanks again David and Steven,

At the recently completed Minneapolis Awards presentation held tonight at the Minneapolis Convention Center, List Manager and private citizen, David Brauer, was the inaugural winner of the Mayor's Award, along with co-conspirator, Steven Clift.

In his best imitation of Calvin Griffith (you remember the line about Butch Wynegar- "I love that boy"), David admitted that "he loves Minneapolis" and that he was "humbled" by the award [quite a mouthful for a guy who regularly kicks malcontents off the list :o)].

I bring up this award only because I know that David Brauer, private citizen and David Brauer, List Manager, is really too humble to toot his own horn. But it was a well deserved recognition for both David and Steven. Congratulations!!

Now, while the List Manager gloats for the next 24 hours, is the best time for list members to try and get away with 3 posts or more per day and discussing 'non-Minneapolis' issues. But be careful, because 'our' Cinderella will turn back into an overworked, underappreciated cleaning lady before we know it.

Once again, David and Steven, "Congratulations!"

Lucky enough to be the Presenter for fellow Award winner, Dave Parker, a fellow Windom resident
