SAVE’s Director Receives Award from Congressman Pete Stark

Rodney Clark, Executive Director of SAVE, was selected to receive the 2008 Angels in Adoption award by Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA).  This award allows Members of Congress to honor an individual from their community who enriches the lives of foster children and orphans.

Rodney, and 180 others awardees, were honored on September 16 at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, DC. Rep. Stark met with Rodney as part of his trip to Washington, DC.

"I'm proud to honor Rodney Clark as an Angel in Adoption," said Rep. Pete Stark. "Each day, through the work Mr. Clark does, he positively impacts the lives of foster children, orphans, and children in at-risk families. He is helping to ensure that all children in our community are kept safe, are provided the tools needed to thrive, and become healthy, educated, and productive adults. I am grateful to Rodney for his tireless effort and dedication to this vital cause."
