“We thank them for their sacrifice and all that they have done to blaze the trail here in Frederick County to make all of our journeys a bit easier.” – Joy Hall Onley, Founder and President, The Honors Class

FREDERICK, Md. (PRWEB)
November 07, 2019

The Honors Class, a nonprofit organization created to celebrate and honor the lives and achievements of senior citizens in Frederick County, MD who are 90 years of age and older, is hosting its 7th Annual ‘Attitude of Gratitude’ Banquet on Sunday, Nov. 24 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Dutch’s Daughter Restaurant.

The banquet is the organization’s largest fundraiser of the year and typically draws a crowd of more than 150 people. The honorees are treated to delicious food, live music, a thought-provoking message and fellowship with their peers – some of the eldest residents in the Frederick community. During the event, seniors are presented with gift baskets put together by the volunteer members of the organization.

Tickets to the Attitude of Gratitude Banquet are free for seniors who are members of The Honors Class and 90 years of age and older. Tickets are $35 per person for everyone else.

The Honors Class was founded in 2013 with the sole purpose of feting Frederick area seniors by hosting various events throughout the year, and presenting the seniors with gifts and proclamations from elected leaders and area businesses. The goal is to show these elders that they have made a difference in our city and county, in our state and nation.

“Our seniors deserve all these honors and more,” said Joy Hall Onley, founder and president of The Honors Class. “We are indebted to them. We thank them for their sacrifice and all that they have done to blaze the trail here in Frederick County to make all of our journeys a bit easier.”

The deadline to reserve your ticket to this year’s event is Monday, Nov. 18th. If you are interested in attending, you can contact Joy Hall Onley at (301) 663-4078.

A wonderful evening is in store and The Honors Class hopes to gain the support from the Frederick community to enable us to continue hosting programs to honor our county’s eldest members.

About The Honors Class

The Honors Class was founded as a 501 c3 in 2013 to celebrate and honor Frederick County, MD seniors, of all ethnicities, who are 90 years of age and older. The organization does this by hosting several key events each year and enlisting the help and support of business leaders, elected officials, volunteers and the organization’s membership to pull it off. Our seniors have received birthday wishes from former President and First Lady, Barack and Michelle Obama, and proclamations from local mayors, the county executive, as well as state and congressional leaders, including the governor of Maryland. Our seniors deserve these honors and more. We stand on their shoulders and are indebted to them for their sacrifice and love.

Shaw debuts sustain[HUMAN]ability recognition program – celebrating organizations that put people at the heart of their sustainability efforts.

At Shaw, we put people at the center of sustainability — what we call sustain[HUMAN]abilityTM. That’s why we’re focused on the ingredients that go into products and the impacts of sound, moisture and other design elements.

DALTON, Ga. (PRWEB)
November 07, 2019

Shaw Industries Group Inc. (Shaw) has debuted a program to recognize diverse organizations intently focused on products and initiatives that support the wellbeing of people and the planet. The company’s sustain[HUMAN]abilityTM recognition program, which kicked off with a webinar in conjunction with Sustainable Brands on Oct. 17, will explore what is driving these organization’s varied efforts, the challenges they’ve faced, keys to success and what’s on the horizon.

“At Shaw, we put people at the center of sustainability — what we call sustain[HUMAN]abilityTM. That’s why we’re focused on the ingredients that go into products and the impacts of sound, moisture and other design elements,” stated Susan Farris, vice president of sustainability and corporate communications. “There are so many great people and organizations striving to make a positive impact on people and the planet. By showcasing a range of organizations that share our focus on putting people at the heart of their sustainability efforts, we hope others will be inspired to drive change and learn from these organizations’ successes, innovations and challenges.”

The 10 organizations Shaw is recognizing as part of this effort over the coming year are (in alphabetical order):

• American Family Insurance, headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin, is one of the nation’s largest property/casualty insurance groups. With a company mission to inspire, protect and restore dreams, American Family created DreamBank in 2012, an empowering public space where community members can gather to find inspiration and resources for discovering and pursuing their own dreams. DreamBank is located in downtown Madison at American Family’s Spark building, which was constructed with a commitment to energy-saving building techniques and healthy spaces, designed to enhance well-being and reflect the company’s sustainability values.
• Eastman is a global specialty materials company that produces a broad range of products found in items people use every day. In early 2019, the company announced two recycling innovations to tackle the global problem of waste plastic by recycling plastics that cannot be processed by mechanical recycling, and thus end up in our landfills and waterways. Carbon renewal technology was first announced in April and has already begun commercial operation. The other – advanced circular recycling – will process polyester waste, while carbon renewal technology is a game-changer for recycling because it provides an end-of-life solution for almost any kind of plastic.
• Harvard University is the oldest institution of higher education in the U.S. Harvard’s Healthier Building Materials Academy (HBMA) is a partnership between the Harvard Office for Sustainability and public health, medical and engineering faculty. HBMA’s goal is to implement a standardized holistic approach to optimize for human health in the built environment and throughout supply chains. Harvard works with businesses, manufacturers and non-profit organizations to collaboratively transform the marketplace for health.
• Health Care Without Harm is a nonprofit organization that works to transform health care worldwide to reduce its environmental footprint, become a community anchor for sustainability and a leader in the global movement for environmental health and justice. Among its efforts, the organization has created environmental criteria, guidance and goals to help healthcare facilities and others make purchasing decisions that support people and the planet.
• Healthy Building Network (HBN) is a nonprofit that has helped define the leading edge of healthy building practices. For nearly two decades they’ve worked to increase transparency in the building products industry, reduce human exposures to hazardous chemicals and create market incentives for healthier innovations in manufacturing. HBN’s HomeFree is a national initiative helping leaders in affordable housing “do better” through scientific guidance and educational resources, including their collaboration with the Housing Partnership Networking (HPN) and HPN Select EcoGuide.
• HeiQ is a leader in textile innovation that helps textile brands and manufacturers quickly identify, target and manufacture novel technologies. The company’s 80 employees on four continents work closely with a network of more than 40 PhDs to leverage academic research and internal development specialists to create disruptive textile technologies and the marketing narratives to communicate the added value to the consumers. Recently, HeiQ collaborated with IKEA to create GUNRID, a groundbreaking air purifying curtain concept.
• Perkins and Will is a global architecture and design firm that ignited an industry movement toward healthy building materials in 2008. The firm’s Material Performance Lab—one of seven research labs—continues to investigate product ingredients and their impact on human health, and to and educate design professionals on how to choose healthier, more sustainable products for the built environment.
• Purpose Built Communities is working to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty with a focus on creating healthy, thriving neighborhoods. The nonprofit organization helps local leaders revitalize struggling neighborhoods, and brings together the vital components necessary for holistic community revitalization: high quality mixed-income housing, an effective cradle-to-college education pipeline and comprehensive community wellness resources, organized and driven by a single purpose non-profit entity that is part of the Purpose Built Communities network.
• Schott Design is an Indianapolis, Ind.-based architecture and design firm committed to providing safe, sustainable and healthy workplace solutions. With a commitment to advancing a circular economy, the firm has launched a product exchange program, SchottXchange, going beyond its already expansive carpet reclamation and recycling efforts on all of its projects. SchottXChange facilitates the reuse of items within or between buildings diverting materials from the landfill.
• The University of Georgia New Materials Institute partners with industry and businesses to design materials that create less waste and are safe for people, animals and Earth. It also works with governments and organizations to redesign systems to generate less waste and promote circularity in materials management. The Institute trains the next generation of scientists and engineers in the Principles of Green Engineering.

As part of this recognition program, Shaw will profile these organizations in a blog series on SustainableBrands.com beginning in November 2019.
