 the President and I believe Melyn ordered a pin for him to wear.  I thought it was so cool that I wanted to share the information on how to do the awards in your own communities.  I also want to point out one thing Melyn told me; not to make it as something
 you give to everyone.  It is a true honor to receive the award.  Here are some standouts that I saw and below that is the website for you to check out.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
