2010 Annual Awards Party

The party was held in the Leduc Recreation Centre and the venue was packed with award winners as well as family and friends. There was a silent auction, a draw for Morgan Registry books, horse races (alas, the website administrator's luck with the nags held true to form, even indoors), an excellent dinner catered by the LRC and, last but not least, the awards themselves, the reason for the whole affair. Included is a link to the pictures taken by the event photographer. If you have any problems accessing the photos, please contact Ed Pitts for assistance. If you have any photos that you would like to add, send them to Ed and he will try and include them.
 


 

A big thank you goes out to the people like Leann, Sarah, Willa, Aldona, Laurie, Gloria, Del and Kathy, all of whom gave of their time to make the event a success. If anyone has been missed/forgotten, please let me know.
