Cliff Collins, owner of Cliff’s Meat Market, has received the 2009 Pauli Murray Award in the business category. The award is given annually to a local business that works to create equality, justice and human rights for all citizens. Collins was nominated for reaching out to the Spanish-speaking community.
“I don’t doubt that his association with this fairly new community benefits him, but I think he has done an extraordinary job of reaching out to a less empowered group that has a lot to offer,†wrote Tim Peck in his nomination. Cliff Collins will join other winners at an awards ceremony on Sunday, Feb. 22, from 3 to 5 p.m. at New Hope Elementary.
The free event is open to the public. For more information, call 960-3875.
