Local Do-Gooders Nominated for Award

Congratulations to PLGer Laura Frenzer for being nominated as a Brooklyn Do Gooder by the Brooklyn Community Foundation.

Laura was nominated for her work with PLG Arts - including the Lincoln Road/Flatbush Avenue mural project and the Alphabet Arts puppet shows - and her fundraising for an uninsured neighbor who was stricken with cancer.

UPDATE: Rohana Elias-Reyes has also been nominated for her work with PLG Arts. You can vote for her here: http://www.dogoodrighthere.org.

According to Ms. Elias-Reyes, "if one of us wins, PLG Arts can receive some funding to continue and expand all the things we do in the neighborhood - free summer play, Artmart, murals, Jazz at the Inkwell... BUT that means we're in competition (only on their website, in real life we're a team). So pick just one and vote like crazy - it won't hurt our feelings, because if PLG Arts wins, we all win."

Which makes me wonder whether I should have updated at all, since it may steal votes from Ms. Frenzer...
