The magazine says the award "celebrates the spirit of volunteerism by recognizing standout charitable women from across the country."

In its March issue, Maine invited Traditional Home's readers to nominate a woman who is "making a positive difference in her community." The magazine's editorial staffers evaluated the nominations and chose five women to honor who they felt are "truly are changing the world one day, one person at a time."

Traditional Home Classic Woman Awards honorees and their causes are: Ginny Donohue, Syracuse, NY (On Point for College); Gloria Taylor, St. Louis, MO (Community Women Against Hardship); Jeanne Mozier, Berkeley Springs, WV (Morgan Arts Council); Susan Retik, Boston, MA (Beyond the 11th); and Kathy Feldt, St. Louis, MO (The Joy Foundation).

POKEMON ANNIVERSARY

Pokemon, the lovable cartoon character, is celebrating his tenth anniversary.

Pokemon USA Editorial Director Lawrence Neves stopped by The Early Show plaza to help mark the occasion.

He said, "We are here to celebrate ten years of Pokemon craziness, over 140 million games, 15 billion trading cards in circulation.

"It promotes a lot of interactivity among kids, reading skills, math skills; it's one of the best games out there for younger kids and older kids alike. Our age range goes from 6-60.

" … We are in 60 countries, in 30 different languages. We have a new season of Pokemon coming up on TV, and a number of anniversary celebrations" under way.

TEENS AGAINST CANCER

On The Early Show Monday, Max Cohen told Dave Price about the organization he founded, Teens Against Cancer, "because my mom had cancer about two years ago. She had lymphoma. Right after that happened, I just decided that I wanted to make a difference and just help other people." (His mom was at the plaza to see her son's appearance on national television!)
