The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

Jeff and Lori Bartlow were recognized as the 2017 Boosters of the Year at Waitsburg's season-end home basketball game against St. John/Endicott on Saturday night.

"This year's Booster of the Year recognition is long overdue," said Booster Club President Ross Hamann. "Over the last 19 years, Jeff and Lori Bartlow have demonstrated tremendous dedication to the youth of our great community.  They have given countless hours, gobs of money, and always accepted leadership roles in many student activities to ensure our kids had the support and resources they needed to be successful.

"From coaching, to YoungLife, to organizing fundraisers, Jeff and Lori seem to have boundless energy if kids are involved.  They are kindhearted, extremely faithful, and willing to roll up their sleeves and work!  Jeff and Lori have been mentors to many and inspirational to all," Hamann added.
