.... For your First Place Exhibitor Award at the recently concluded ANA Convention in Pittsburgh.

Sorry Brenda and I could not be there to view it. While I understand that the casino category did not have many entries this year ... that fact should not diminish the recognition of receiving a First Place Award at ANA. An ANA exhibit must score a minimum number of judging points just to be ELIGIBLE for an award. On many occassions, a First Place Award will not be given if there are less than 3 entries in a particular category. So don't be discouraged by the lack of competition this year. The judges obviously viewed your display worthy of a First Place!

You done good!!
