— Show the greatest benefit per capita and per dollar granted
— Give the evidence of qualifications and stability of the organization applying
— Reach a broad segment of the community with needed services, which are presently not provided
— Set forth a work plan, which shows an ability to achieve the project’s goal

Haffner becomes 44th winner of Red Haven Award

On Tuesday, when the Anderson Noon Exchange Club presented the 2012 winner, it went to Pendleton Heights’ Abbie Haffner. So for the next 12 months, PH will be home to both the new traveling trophy, first presented a year ago to Lapel’s Leigh Steele, and the old one. -
