The Traveling Trophy is Returned

Last year, Great Lakes Congress, LLC  surprised me at their April show, naming me the Most Valuable Member, 2019.  

 The Most Valuable Member trophy is given out annually in recognition for service to the club. (I had researched and written the history of the club and presented it to them for their 35th anniversary.) 

 That trophy has been proudly displayed in my library ever since. 

A history of who has won the trophy goes with the trophy to its next home - each recipient signs and dates it.

I mailed it back to Liz Cory earlier this week so that they would have it in time for their annual membership meeting and elections. 

I'm sad to see it go, but I am honored to be part of the GLC legacy. And I can't wait to hear who won the trophy for 2020!

And the Winner Is...

Dani Youdris! Congratulations!
