As a follow-up story, it would also be informative to know whether Sonia Rodriquez was elected to the Yakima City Council, and Cindy Ryu re-elected as Mayor of Shoreline. Both women showed remarkable courage against some of the obstacles in their campaign for election. P.S.

I was very honored and humbled to be in the company of so many powerful and successful women. Your online report is the first follow up I have seen of the September 25th event and I was wondering if it would be possible to obtain a copy of the group photo that was taken. Although I enjoyed reading the report written by Leslie Yeh, I think the write-up should have mentioned that all of the women being honored were awarded with the Governor's Award of Excellence for their outstanding community service. That was the highlight of the event for me. Thank you for inviting me.......it was a very inspirational day for me. I congratulate all of you on the fine work that you do. ~Joan Hernandez, 2009 Council President Tukwila City Council Thank you for honoring me at the September 25, 2008 luncheon at China Harbor.
