Our own VP Dan Sclare joins the ranks of the Life Members. Trudi and Harry Monte bestow their annual scholarship award on Jeanette Andrews.  Later in the convention, this brave girl performed her charming “Eliza Doolittle” act for critiquing by Eberhard Reise.  She gained valuable information on how to turn her good act into a great act.
