Lana Anderson was awarded an Unsung Hero Award for her work with Small Things Matter on January 26, 2019. This award reflects all the hard work of our members in promoting literacy in underserved communities and in engaging children of all ages to craft items for those in need. Our thanks to our wonderful STM members, Takoma United for this honor Doris Duarte and Bryan Goehring for presenting her award, and The Takoma Foundation for hosting this event. Congratulations to all the other 2019 Unsung Heroes (Renay Johnson, Carolyn Leary Bobb, Tebabu Assefa, Jessie Carpenter, and Leicia Monfort) for their amazing work in our community.
