Tribal employee wins photo contest
Tribal Lead Health Information Technician Lillian Engel took first place
in the Tribal Library's "Get Caught Reading" photo contest while Tribal
member Candi Buswell took second and third places. Engel's "Baby With
a Book" finished first and Buswell's two photos, Two Kids Interrupted"
and Two Kids Reading," took second and third, respectively.
There were 15 photos entered in the contest and they were judged on
compliance to theme, emotional impact, artistry and technical detail.
This was a fun project for the library to sponsor," said Tribal Elder and
Tribal Librarian Marion Mercier. "People who came in the library enjoyed
looking at the photos and picking out their favorite." D
