No, she did't get a new puppy.
On Friday, Zysk attended the Valley Patriot's 9th Anniversary party and was presented with a community service award -- the Good Will Ambassador Award.
On Saturday, at the NAMA "Knight of Honor" gala, Zysk was surprised with another award, Volunteer of the Year.
Zysk started Wiggles & Jiggles 11 years ago.
"I am more than thrilled, I'm touched by this community," Zysk said. Zysk didn't know beforehand about either of the honors. Zysk has been volunteering her whole life. When President Bill Clinton launched Americorps in the 1990s, Zysk was one of the first volunteers for that program. She said participating in that nationwide good will movement led her to appreciate the long-term effects of helping communities.
"I love to give, and I think when people need help, the community should go out there and help," Zysk said. "As a buz owner, I am so grateful for the opportunities this town has given me. Without my community, I wouldn't have the business I have today. It's my home, and these are my neighbors, and that means more than anything."
