Rev. Mac Legerton of Pembroke, North Carolina has been selected as the recipient of the 2007 Distinguished Service to Rural Life Award of the Rural Sociological Society (RSS)

Dr. Stephen Gasteyer, 2007 RSS Awards Chair, stated: “The purpose of the Distinguished Service to Rural Life Award is to recognize a person who has made an outstanding contribution to the enhancement of rural life and rural people. Rev. Legerton embodies the spirit of this award with his hard work and his commitment to social justice and enhancing the quality of life of rural people. In a county that at once embodies the diversity of rural America and the wrenching economic transformation caused by international globalization, Rev. Legerton’s organization, the Center for Community Action (CCA), has provided a ray of hope by empowering local citizens for positive social change.”

Its Green Map Project is the only rural project selected in the world to be included in the first, international Green Atlas on the World Wide Web.

Yes, unfortunately today my (Tom Hammer’s) last day as an intern at Green Map System. Since I’ve had such an amazing summer, I feel I should update you all on the projects I’ve been lucky to be a part of here at Green Map during the past few months.

Soon after arriving in New York, I was put hard to work writing Mapmaker profiles and uploading the Green Maps created by past Mapmakers. Hopefully you have noticed these projects, which are marked by the leaves on the Google World Map, posted on the homepage on this site. (Note: Tom pitched in on several tasks related to the website's relaunch, too!)read more »
