When I was on the board, in the old days when all the notes were on parchment, I was in charge of the Juniors program. I found I had to call a parent to get someone nominated. I do believe that if no one wants to nominate for an award, maybe it is time to retire it. Perhaps by having less awards, those that have import will be more important. I am sorry to lose the Hero Dog Award, our dogs are heroes to us every day, and perhaps none stand out.
