It is my privilege to recognize a few of them for their contributions. These honorees were nominated by the general membership. They are a cross-section representing many others whose selfless efforts have contributed to our success.Unfortunately, not all are here, but most are. As I call your name, please stand. Please hold your applause until all have been recognized.
