The Keystone Alliance/Gaylife Newsletter is pleased to announce Republican PA State Representative Mike Fleck (Hundtingdon) and Democratic PA State Representative Brian Sims (Philadelphia) will be accepting in person the Spirit Award 2013 from the KA/GN on Thursday, June 13th at 4 pm at the Cambria County Library Community Room. Refreshments and food will be provided. This event is free and open to the public.
In addition, the KA/GN will be honoring several of our Chapter Presidents with the President's Award for Excellence for their outstanding service, for those that have done an outstanding job not only for the organization but for what they are trying to do in their communities. And so this year adding into the Spirit Awards we will be giving awards out to some of our outstanding chapter presidents who have shown that determination to support the issues and the community of the Keystone Alliance/ Gaylife Newsletter.
These people have served the organization and their community at no pay with dedication and service to all. But these leaders need to be honored and we will be doing that this year and will become an ongoing aspect for the future.

Melinda Ann Bleazer, President, Spokane Chapter, Washngton of the Keystone Alliance
Catherine S. Cox, President, Altoona Chapter, PA of the Keystone Alliance 
Sue Marie Isbell, President, Quad Counties Chapter, Idaho of the Keystone Alliance

Keynote Speaker will be PA Democratic State Senator John Wozniak
Press Release: Spirit Award 2013 Announced 1/1/13
Dear Representative Fleck and Representative Sims,
We want to award you the Spirit Award 2013 because you have shown courage in the face of hate, in the face of those who probably would have told you that you could not do it, in the face of those that tried to discourage you, in the face of your enemies. And this award is given to those heroes who are willing to stand up and be themselves and be strong in who they are and say, “I can do the job, look at me and I can do the job and it is not relevant what my personal life is like because I am a loving, kind, hard working individual that represents the community.”
And for that we know we must give you this award for in spirit you have been strong and you will serve the community at large well and for that we honor you.
Sincerely,
John A. DeBartola
President, Keystone Alliance/Gaylife Newsletter
