MillerWhite copywriter recognized by local environmental group
May 6, 2005

MillerWhite, LLC congratulates its copywriter, Cathy Hendricks, on being named by TREES Inc. as winner of the 2005 Mighty Oak Award. Cathy is a charter member and secretary of TREES, Terre Haute’s volunteer community environmental and beautification group.

The Mighty Oak Award was instituted in 1996 to honor an outstanding community citizen who has “supported and fostered the goals of TREES Inc. by exceptional performance in the beautification of home and community by the planting of trees, educating the community about the importance of planting and maintaining trees, and/or stimulating community participation and civic pride.”

In making the presentation during Terre Haute’s annual Arbor Day ceremony on April 29, former TREES president John Woelfle said Cathy had expanded and enriched the group’s accomplishments by “generously sharing her professional guidance, organizational skills and good judgment” to assist TREES Inc. for 16 years in areas such as identity development, public relations, tree planting, recruiting new members and record keeping.
For MillerWhite, Cathy handles and oversees copy creation, writing, editing and proofreading for public relations, advertising and interactive media projects.

“ It seems as long as I have worked with Cathy she has been involved with TREES Inc.,” said MillerWhite partner Bill White. “This award reflects the sincerity of her commitment. MillerWhite is proud to support Cathy’s efforts.”

“ There are so many people in Terre Haute who have done much more toward improving the environment of our community,” Cathy commented. “However, I sincerely appreciate this recognition from TREES because it is an amazing group of energetic and persistent volunteers who have visibly improved the beauty, livability and environment of our city. The true reward has been working with these board members and being a part of this group to benefit Terre Haute.”

In addition to her work with TREES Inc., Cathy serves on the board of the Newcomers Club of Terre Haute and is a member of Class IX of Leadership Terre Haute. She was named 1999 Newcomer of the Year by the Newcomers Club of Terre Haute.
