"Redmond has two natural resources that have made it world famous, and that is Microsoft and Mike Town and the Redmond Mustangs."Congressman Inslee lauded Mike Town for recently winning a highly competitive National Science Foundation fellowship to advocate in D.C. Inslee said "local CO-2 reduction is being replicated nationally."

ReplyDeleteIt was a really good event and hopefully there will be a lot more joint work between RHS and the city.
The fellowship will also be a great opportunity for the city and the district and we will send some more specific info to you as it develops.
