My Sister's Fancy Apple

My sister Cathy won an award last night!  The Chamber of Commerce in her local community honors deserving educators with the Crystal Apple Award; and at last night's dinner and awards ceremony, Cathy received one!  Cathy, would you comment to tell us all the details about your nomination, your selection, the evening overall, etc.?  In the meantime, here she is with the award (which looks very nice, btw):
