The Ruth Johnson Lifetime Legacy Award

In 2008 the chapter inaugurated an annual presentation named for a founding committee member, Mrs. Ruth Johnson. Since 1971, Ruth has faithfully served the Lord through the CEF ministry: she has taught Good News Clubs, hosted 5-Day Clubs in her backyard, served on the local committee in various capacities (treasurer, prayer chairman, etc.). She has successfully completed Teaching Children Effectively levels 1 and 2. She has proved to be a valuable member and contributer to this chapter's ministry, always encouraging and often mentoring others.
