Jean Millard Honored as 2011 Woman of the Year

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Raleigh, North Carolina, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) January 17, 2012 -- Jean Millard, Founder and President of StoryTime Club, Inc., announced today she was recently recognized as the 2011 Woman of the Year. She received this honor from the Greater Cleveland Chamber of Commerce in cooperation with Cleveland School Rotary on January 9, 2012, at the GCCC’s annual banquet.

The plaque was presented to Jean in recognition of her outstanding dedication, commitment, and personal leadership in the Cleveland Community. She’s worked tirelessly for 4 years to reinforce positive values to our young ones. Most recently, Jean’s been working on her nationwide grassroots initiative to Help Stop Bullying Now!

Suzanne Wiley, President of Cleveland School Rotary, introduced Jean and also presented her with the award. “I wish you could have seen the look on Jean’s face,” Suzanne said later that evening.

Jean admitted she’s never been more surprised by anything in her life. “If they were trying to ‘surprise’ me, they sure pulled it off—quite skillfully, I might add.”

Thinking she was probably going to get a certificate in recognition of her work to counter bullying, Jean came as her character, Gray-Haired Granny. And Granny always wears her signature long purple coat when SHE makes public appearances.

When Jean’s name was announced, Granny humbly accepted the honor for Jean. “Wow!” she said. “It’s such a great honor to be recognized by one’s peers. And for something I find great satisfaction in doing. I LOVE working with the children, so receiving this recognition is very gratifying. It’s truly a humbling experience. Thank you so much.”

Granny went on to recognize our educators. She said they need all the support we can give them to help strengthen our community. She added, “Because when we have strong families, we build strong communities.”
