NIRMM Hall of Fame Launch
Legacy News partnered with NIRMM Originator/Coordinator Darlene House to launch NIRMM Hall of Fame. Newspaper readers were encouraged to nominate both living or dearly departed people who inspired them. The NIRMM Hall of Fame appears for the first time in the Legacy News issue. In his memory, Raymond Hines was selected as the first inductee for the NIRMM Hall of Fame. Through this project, House hopes to share share some of the wise counsel he gave to her and encourage others to honor family members and friends who inspired them. House’s uncle’s lessons — such as “A worker needs his tools” — were simple but profound. He will always be loved, appreciated and dearly missed.
NIRMM 2010 Recommended Reading List.
For its third edition, the criteria required linking nominations to the theme.
Another first involved an extra special local, world-class author. Dr. O.D. Groves gained distinction as the first author to have two titles selected for the NIRMM Recommended Reading List in the same year. Her children’s books, including the NIRMM featured selections Color Color Color and The Weathers, spotlight creativity as an outstanding writer and illustrator.
Check out the NIRMM Showcase featuring the NIRMM Recommended Reading List and some of the selected books. The showcase is on display at the Redford Township District Library throughout the November celebration month.
