Great news! Oklahoma's Karen Starks and her Hugs Project (also see http://oklahomawomen.blogspot.com/2007/10/cast-your-vote-for-hugs-project.html) was chosen as the overall winner in the 2007 L'Oreal Paris' Woman of Worth contest.
How great is THAT?!
According to a recent email from Karen, "The Hugs Project was awarded $27,500 most of which has already been spent on our troops for Christmas. We used over $12,500 on postage alone. Each box had nicer gifts than the regular care packages...like disposable cameras, computer flash drives, new release DVD's and CD's and other items to brighten the holiday season for them." Karen sends her thanks to all those who voted for her.
