Come have fun with NHQHA!

“Be sure to see the list of volunteers below, that were honored for their work in 2007”

..... thank you

This year, the NHQHA Banquet and Awards Committee made a daring move to make honoring recipients receiving Presidents awards, and recognizing volunteers that made the 2007 events successful, at their Annual Business Meeting. They wanted to put this important program into its own special awards venue so it was scheduled to be a part of the Annual Business Meeting, held each year in November.  They pulled it off.
The Annual meeting was held at the Cat -N Fiddle where members voted for new board members and bylaw changes. 

The first annual President’s Special Awards Program saw President Cory Welch, bestow 76 honors which included the 2007 President’s 2007 Award, NHQHA Board member’s and then awarded gifts to the 62 volunteers that worked on events in 2007. Member and their family volunteers were given awards that were related to the hours served during events that their committee’s events ran during the year.

In addition to our many volunteers, President Cory Welch made his annual President's Award presentation to Barbara Breed for her tireless efforts to promote and foster the NHQHA.
