THE ARCHER JACKSON AWARD

All of the work involved in running the society, publishing the Scabbard, and putting on the show is done by volunteers, many of whom have been quietly giving
their time and energy for years with little or no recognition.

Although many members contribute to club activities, there are always a few who are so generous with their time and efforts that the whole endeavor would
probably collapse without them.

 No one better exemplified this sprrit than the late Archer Jackson, who served for many years as our treasurer. This award is our small way of saying 'Thank you, and well done.'
