Every year, NALS of Tucson & So. AZ (NTSA) members nominate an employer from the community who exemplifies the highest standards of service to the legal community and in supporting the legal support staff which they employ.  After committee review and ranking the nominations, the winner is presented the prestigious Boss of the Year Award at our annual Awards & Appreciation Banquet held at the chapter's annual meeting.

The 2011 Boss of the Year Award was handed out to local attorney Sally J. Simpson, Esq.  
Ms. Simpson was unable to attend this year's awards banquet but sent her thanks for her award via letter (right - click for larger image).

In response to Ms. Simpson's letter, NTSA goes on record as saying that no thanks are necessary, as the awards presented to our Bosses say enough -- that you are Superstars!

Thank you Ms. Simpson for all that you do!

"Well, look what she can do when she really starts to buckle down.  All 120 cream colored squares are cut into 2 1/2" squares.  

And now CC is going to take a quick timeout because Brianna has arrived for a visit with her mom.  Oh, the life of CC and her daughters never ends.  

While she has been a member of NALS  for 30 years, her participation in your association has been off and on throughout the years due to her children.  And it paid off in the long run because now they are her best friends."

It appears as though I'm being created as a raffle item for the NALS of Arizona 45th Annual Spring Education Conference & Awards Banquet.  

Yes, this is really me, the quilt, giving you a play-by-play on my creation for you, so let me start at the beginning.  
  
"My creator and your NALS of Arizona President Elect, Christine Clayton ("CC") had the brillant idea one day when looking through a quilting book that it would be a wonderful idea to start quilting again.  You see, when she was in high school, she helped her mother make three quilts, one for herself and for each of her sisters.  It was one of the few times when she was growing up that her and her mom did something together without fighting.  She has always enjoyed sewing but could never find the time to do it while she was raising KC and Brianna.
