Local Hero: SOMMER PYBURNRoberta Funes nominated Sommer Pyburn as a FISH CARES Local Hero, Roberta writes, " Sommer Pyburn is a great young lady, 15 years of age, who attends our church faithfully and is involved with the youth activities at church. She volunteers time in the summer at the Dog Training School nearby, and takes an active part in other community services, like the distribution of Girl Scout Cookies at the drop sites where the Girl Scout Leaders pick up cookies for their troups. But mostly, I think she deserves to be nominated because she is organizing and and implementing a "Miss Amazing Pageant" at her school. This pageant is for the girls who are physically challenged and therefore are never included in the things that popular and pretty girls are involved in. Sommer wants to make it a very special event for them. Each girl is to be judged on Prettiest eyes, prettiest smile, nicest laugh, prettiest hair, etc, so that every girl is a winner in something. She will be delegating parts of this event's preparation to dependable and well trusted peers to make this a memorable evening for each and every contestant. They will walk down a red carpet and each one will have a tiara of some sort. Sommer is a very outgoing and caring person and one that always thinks of others before herself. She is an asset to the community, the church and her school. She is a Hero and deserves to be recognized, because with all she does for others, she never looks for recognition."
