From Assistant Editor Linda C.:
WyoPoets has selected the Wyoming Arts Council, and Mike Shay, to receive one of their Excellence Awards. He will recieve their undying gratitude and a certificate suitable for framing.
He was nominated, then approved by two committee members. Myra Peak will be in Cheyenne on February 19 to present the certificate. She will give a short speech and photos will be taken. Myra will also send press releases to local newspapers.
WyoPoets recognizes individuals and organizations who have excelled in poetry, have mentored members of WyoPoets, served WyoPoets, or supported WyoPoets in some fashion. Receiving, and giving the certificate, provides recognition to recipients of the Excellence Awards and to WyoPoets.
Mike Shay has been an instrumental part of the literary scene at the Arts Council and in Wyoming and the Rocky Mountain region for many, many years, and his expertise and enthusiasm for Wyoming authors, and artists in general, are legend!
Congratulations, Mike, for a well deserved recognition.
