In this day and age \u2013 yes, in 2018, when some governments seem to want to rewrite history, it is important and incumbent upon us to take in and to recommit to Marie\u2019s message of community inclusion, of education and of volunteerism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The CHILD Foundation Inspiration Award was presented to Doduck, \u201cwho inspires us all to become better, more involved citizens through her dedicated efforts on behalf of children and the warm, uplifting consideration she extends to everyone she meets.\u201d Congratulations!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marie Doduck, left, receives the CHILD Foundation Inspiration Award from the foundation\u2019s Mary McCarthy Parsons.
