Thank you for a wonderful year!  At the Annual May Banquet we celebrated and acknowledged all the accomplishments and team work over the last year.  Everything was perfect: from the silent auction items donated, to meeting the award and scholarship recipients, and enjoying a delicious dinner with the company of colleagues.  We look forward to another successful year under the direction of Peggy Blake, President.  Thank you for your participation in HACD and be sure to check out the pictures from the banquet.
