Winners 2006   2007   Web site of the Year awards for 2007 / 2006  Notice of Changes: Effective March  10th 2008 We are stepping out in a new direction and invite our peers to also consider this. On our application page it goes like this... We thank you for your time in this journey. We believe everyone wants to make a difference. The Dove Award Program believes that we all make a difference. We offer you a graphic, it is not any award but part of our program that is called "The Olive Branch" program. We want to reach out to all sites even the ones that will not recieve our rated award. This is not a friendship graphic but one that you can be proud to place upon your site with a simple statement that you are working together with us to for that difference. Our panel has agreed to remove our 90 day waiting period to reapply for our award. Our panel will work with each site that fails our Criteria for some reason. This is a 'hands on' type approach. We will work with you on a one on one basis to help you solve these problems on this journey. After our panel sees that you are ready and prepared for the journey a second time we will then allow you to continue. Simply if you are not awarded our rated award...we will continue to work with you and follow up to see how you are doing. We believe we all make a difference and we are reaching out the olive branch to help you achieve our award. So you will be contacted each week to see how your journey is coming, the impovements and changes that you must meet according to our Criteria. Then we will simply invite you to take the journey again. This is a new venture for us but we think that is what the award programs are all about.  We will work with each site that is not awarded our award for a period of 90 day's max.                                                                                  Dan Wheeler /Administrator/Owner                                 2008 Winners of The Dove Award/Legacy Graphic                               Applications   Awarded   No Award          Month                                 10   1    9   January   14   1   13   Feb   19   2   17   March   11   1   10   April We do not post essay's but this month during our anniversary we have decided to post this one. A  Life that made a difference.....nomination essay.....Honor given to Alice Pandora.com There are heroe's that come in all shapes, all sizes, all races, men, women, children. A real hero is one bearing the greatest gift that a person can carry is love. Just what is love? We can look all around us and see all sorts of worldly love. There is love of material things, love of money, love of the flesh, one can about love anything. But there are for some such a love  for others in the global world of our Internet home. We all take 'time' for granted indeed, for one to part with such a presious love...time...is a real burning desire to make a difference..to touch others, to leave a legacy. This site Alice Pandora.com is such a site and I would like to recommend this site for your  A Life that made a difference honor award. You see for many people a web site is just another way to spend time as a hobby, for Alice her site is done with a desire to love, to give back something to other's and to leave a lasting legacy throughout the halls of time. And time is the greatest thing we all do not want to part with. And Alice truly gives up of that presious gift...done in love...giving of her time to us all.   Thank you for your consideration  The Olive Branch Program has worked with Three sites recently that were almost there. They touched the visitor panel but needed some 'fine tuning you could say".  These sites worked with our staff to make the corrections to meet our award Criteria.  The Olive Branch Program does not mean that a site will recieve our Award. Our Panel must be 'touched" left with a lasting impression. The Olive Branch Program works with the design and code part of the site.  It has nothing to do with the evaluation of a site through our panels eyes.      The                                              Winners 2008                              January/ Feb FIRST Legacy Award to ever be  given out. March/ April/ May/ June/ July/ Aug/ Sept/ Oct A Life that made a difference Honor Award Program This award is by nomination only!              Navigation Menu                               VBS     Contact   Legal     Mission     Drum craft    Harp Craft  History   Music       Home  Site Map   Author            page 2 [Purpose] page 3[Past Winners] page 4[ Icons and symbols] page 5[ Mandatory page 1] page 6 [ Mandatory page 2] page 7 [ Mandatory page3] page 8  About the number 7 and our award panel] page 9 [ If your site is placed on hold we want to help] page 10 [ Disqualifying page 1] page 11 [ Disqualifying page 2] page 12[ Disqualifying page 3] page 13 [ Worksheet for points] page 14[ A time to reflect] page 15 [ Award graphics] page 16 [ Thank you ]  Page 17[  Final instructions application pre page] Application
