Awards and Organizations
I am a member of the Imperial Sovereign Court of the State of Montana (I.S.C.S.M)The primary goal of the I.S.C.S.M is to raise and donate funds to community service organizations and charities throughout the state of Montana. They are a human service organization dedicated to providing social networks, monetary assistance and entertainment to the entire state of Montana, but more specifically the Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual/Transgender and Allied community at large.I received the Eunice May Award from the I.S.C.S.M for outstanding community service. In acting as a liaison between the Women's Center and the I.S.C.S.M we were able to raise over $4,000 for the Watson's Children Shelter.
