On January 12th many of us attended
the annual SWHBA Awards Banquet, held again this year at
Park Lane Ranch. The weather was much more
accommodating. We had a delightful time, enjoying
fellowship with friends, good food and the giving out of
the beautiful awards to those who worked so hard all
year to earn them. Congratulations to all. A complete
listing of the recipients for this year’s awards is on
the website. If you earned an award and were not able to
attend the banquet, please be sure to get it from Margo
at the Marshall show. She will bring them there, after
that you will have to make arrangements with her to get
them. A very special Thank You to Margo for all the hard
work she did, organizing the banquet and selecting and
purchasing the awards. Ginny Chapman volunteered to head
up the banquet duties for 2008.
