At a time when it so common to have short term promotions, the fact that it was "work that continues to work and continues providing, " said jury chair Jean-Remy Von Matt, founder-chairman, Jung Von Matt, was key.  The fact that it was actually making a difference in the community made all the difference to the jury.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/0AEDA2B0-78B6-4ACB-A301-D3BEED89B482/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
