discussed having the chapter prepare and present an annual award recognizing a <st1:State

open access to <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">California</st1:place></st1:State>

for a certificate/plaque and a presentation letter for the award. (I’ll
leave the spot for our local chapter logo blank for the time being.) I’m
wondering if we could get at least two (2) other people that would be willing
to help choose a winner from the nominations this year?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

nominations for the 2009 award. I’ll throw up a nomination for one of my

complete and present this year’s award by the end of April.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
