Congratulations
David Farmelo

This week I want to offer congratulations to Rotarian Nicole Miller, Publisher of the Summit Daily News. The Colorado Press Association recently announced its awards for 2025, and the Summit Daily News took home the General Excellence award as the best overall newspaper in the state among Class 2 publications. That was one of 29 awards won by the paper in the categories of Editorial, Advertising, Other/Mixed Media and Photo and Design.
 
In the listing of the journalists contributing toward each award, Nicole is specifically noted in the awards for Best Series or Sustained Coverage, Excellence in Audio Digital Storytelling and Best Website.
 
I imagine that most of you are not aware that on top of her job at the paper, Nicole is responsible for getting this newsletter out each week and has also assisted with the club's website. The paper is also a sponsor and helps us with our advertising. For all of that we are most grateful.
 
So the next time you see Nicole please offer her congratulations on being recognized by her peers for the excellence of her publication and her contributions to it.
 
Have a great weekend, and please remember that we are DARK next week. See you on October 6.
 
Keep the faith,
David
