One of my friends in the industry and a local awards shop owner, David Foble (fob-uhl) is the recipient of the Jefferson Award, for the West Los Angeles/Ventura County, CA areas.

The award is for outstanding community involvement and volunteerism. Dave won-out, over 4 other nominees.

Next stop, is onto Washington D.C., where Dave will be up against about 95 other recipients of the Jefferson Award, from other regions of the U.S., with a possibility of receiving one of several other awards.

In the past, Dave has served on the education committee of ARA.

Another example of Dave's community involvement is, after 6 years as a Board Member of the United Way, he'll be sworn in as Chairman of the organization, July 1st of this year.

I forgot to mention the name of Dave's business. It's Trophies Etc., in Camarillo, CA

As you can see, Dave's been a good influence. :-)
