THE McPHERSON FAMILY HUMANITARIAN AWARD:
Last season, Simi Valley Girls Softball awarded the McPherson family the first ever McPherson Family Humanitarian Award. This annual award will go to the person or family who displays all that the McPherson Family represents - Love, Faith, Family, Selflessness, Strength, Courage, Commitment, Community, Dedication and the ability to show everyone they can make a difference. This year's recipient was Kathleen Motzel and her family. Kathleen volunteers as team mom for 2 teams, is a Girl Scout Leader, volunteers at her church teaching Sunday School and is the coordinator of musicals for the youths at her church. Her daughters, Kaelyn and Natatlie, are best known as the two that thank their managers and coaches after every game, practice of event. Their family is committed to making a difference and "doing good things".... My husband said it best with, "Kathleen makes you want to be a better person". Thank you Motzel Family for your commitment to making the world a better place!
