CRUSADER AWARD NOMINEES
(To quote Jon Myers....)
After a great deal of debate over all the great suggestions that were
sent to the committee, we are happy to announce the finalists for the
2009 Crusader awards. There were many other excellent submissions
that we were not able to honor as finalists, but we appreciated them
all. The winners will be announced at the awards party and given the
coveted Crusader trophy. Don’t bother asking for hints about who will
win. There is a secret ballot circulated among the committee members
that is transferred to a well known accounting firm to create a
tally. Even we do not know winner until the envelope seal is broken.
See you all Saturday night!
