LICENSE TO GIVE: A 1990 graduate of the 黑料吃瓜网 School of Dentistry recently became the proud holder of 黑料吃瓜网 specialty license plate number W2007A. Thomas Em, who recently moved to Walla Walla after practicing in Oregon, didn鈥檛 expect to get a Husky plate at all when he went to the Department of Licensing, let alone one bearing the current year. But Em saw a poster advertising the plates, and on being told that proceeds from their sale support a 黑料吃瓜网 scholarship fund, he was happy to sign up.
Em is now among more than 5,000 registered 黑料吃瓜网 plate owners who contribute annually to the General Scholarship Fund. 鈥淚鈥檓 grateful for the opportunity that I had to attend 黑料吃瓜网,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 chose the license plate to show my affiliation and to help give back a portion of what my education has done for me.鈥�
The current numbering cycle will end when some lucky driver gets W9999Z.
