Caledonian Club Vice Chief, Randy Russell, is recipient of the August 2007 Woodlander of the Month award, which recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the community.

Russell was honored for his long-time community service, including his ten years with the Caledonian Club’s Scottish Games, and Woodland’s public access television station, WAVE, channel 21.  Russell has been a volunteer at the WAVE for over 14 years and is currently on its board of directors as Technical Advisor.

When not volunteering at the WAVE, Russell can be seen working with the Hennigan Frisbee K9 dog show.  The Hennigan Frisbee dogs have traveled the world, delighting people with their incredible acrobatic feats. Russell was recently with them at the California State Fair.

Passionate about cooking, Russell plans to represent the Caledonian Club this year in the Chili Cook-off.  “I will make chili with a Scottish flair,” said Russell. “I’ll be using highland beef instead of regular beef.”

Russell can also add that of Girl Scout leader to his list of community service.  During his twenty years with the Girl Scouts, he proudly served as Woodland Cabin Manager and Cookie Manager. Russell said of his volunteerism: “You get out of life what you put into it.  I like to volunteer and help people.  I am a strong believer in giving back to the community.”

The Woodlander of the Month award is sponsored by Woodland Mayor, David Flory; the Daily Democrat; and Yolo County Supervisors representing Woodland: Duane Chamberlain and Matt Rexroad.
