Greetings ,
Mack and Zoë Strong recipients of "Washingtonian of the Year" award
 | | Mack and Zoe Strong |
I have been involved with the Washington Generals organization for a dozen or so years and am currently a Deputy Commanding General. I was also a co-nominator for Mack and Zoe Strong to receive the Washingtonian of the Year award and am proud to announce that Lt. Governor Brad Owen will emcee a Sept. 17 event at Seahawks headquarters to honor retired Seahawks fullback Mack Strong and his wife, Zoë Higheagle-Strong, as recipients of the Association of Washington Generals' (AWG) annual "Washingtonian of the Year" award.
The reception will start at 5 p.m. at the Seahawks Headquarters/Virginia Mason Athletic Center (VMAC) in Renton. Along with featuring the Washingtonian of the Year and highlights of AWG projects, the event will include tours of the VMAC, Blue Thunder Drum Line, Sea Gals, refreshments and a barbecue.
The Washingtonian of the Year Award is bestowed annually to persons who have demonstrated leadership, selflessness, generosity and compassion in their service to others. In addition to his career as a standout fullback for the Seattle Seahawks, Mack Strong founded a sports and leadership camp that serves Native American youth. Zoë Higheagle-Strong is the executive director of the Washington chapter
of HOPE worldwide, an international charity organization, and is also involved with the youth camp.
For the past eight years Mack and Zoe have also helped to raise funds for Childhaven, a nonprofit organization committed to stop the cycle of abuse and neglect of children.
The Association of Washington Generals (AWG) is a state-chartered service organization that recognizes outstanding contributions of individuals in the state of Washington. Established 40 years ago, the AWG is affiliated by statute with the Office of Lt. Governor. In addition to serving as the event's emcee, Lt. Governor Owen will formally present the Washingtonian of the Year Award to the Strongs.
The organization honored another football great, longtime PLU football coach Frosty Westering in 2010.
Past recipients have included such civic luminaries as Luis Fernando Esteban, the Honorary Consul of Spain for Washington; Bill and Melinda Gates, Paul Allen, Priscilla Bullitt Collins, Don James and many others.
Tickets are $100. More information is available on the Association of Washington Generals web site at http://www.wagenerals.org/, or by sending an email to info@wagenerals.org
Best wishes always,

The introduction of videoed deposition testimony at trial is increasingly common. Once it has been determined that deposition testimony is admissible, special permission is typically unnecessary to introduce video depositions. Indeed, many courts prefer video deposition testimony because video testimony enables the fact finder to view the witness's demeanor, and thus to better assess the deponent's credibility.
