Helen has stirred up many great memories by bringing up the pin topic. I keep everything In a special box and went to look at it. Forgot about those awful orange colored ones- but still have great meaning- I have the trophy from my very first point and from my very last point. Years ago the clubs gave awesome trophies - I have collector plates with beautiful heads on them etched vases etc. Some day I will gift those to Last Hope Sally www.embroiderybysally.org ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
