HEMP BEACH RECEIVES WOW AWARD

By Geea

On Monday May 16, 2005 at 7:00 pm pst the WOW Award for Community Excellence was awarded to Hemp Beach. Wonderland was the first recipient of this award and proudly hands it over to Hemp Beach. Mayor & Founder, G_Mon_420 started Hemp Beach around May 15, 2003 with one sole castle. Around it a trailer park was formed and it grew from there. Hemp Beach is a long standing popular community in There.

I have visited Hemp Beach before but on this evening there was much more. What you experienced on this festive evening was not a row of paz's lining the beach but a sense of a real community, a very proud community. I looked around and took in the party atmosphere, you could feel the excitement, you can see the solid friendships among the members of this community and they were proud as they should be. Paz communities come and go Hemp Beach has proven to be a strong stable community. I believe this derives from the leadership of G_Mon_420 and the bond this community has formed. Congrats to Hemp Beach and its members for receiving the WOW Award for Community Excellence.
