Thank you to the Moonshiners for designing and making the special banners that were presented during the evening festivities to each Past President. The banners were black with a gold braid around the edge and had the 50th Anniversary Teddy Bears for Children By Angela Holm, Region 1 Director Logo on them and the Past President’s name and year/years of service.
