Nominations closed yesterday and I now have two PET three GWA,and four SERVICE Nominations. Something new this year-- Immediately after the July Board meeting,when the Board make their decisions,the Award plaques will be ordered,and mailed directly to the winners,very much like our ROM plaques. The winners will be posted and written about in the National Catalog,as was done before,and written up in the Review,but they will not have their Awards presented at the National. Whether it was because Faith Corderoy ( Owner of Edco Trophies) was a long time member,,and with her death,someone new took over,or whether it was the Hurricane's fault,but the Awards never reached the National. After the National,they ended up at the wrong address,and I spend a week locating them. And even then the Pet one ended up at the Service owner,and Service at GWA. It was a mess.So I'm separating my Hero Awards,from the rest of the National trophies. And a hurricane messes it up again,I get the Awards from a non Hurricane area Helen Miller Fisher ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
