The Maurine Meadow Award was initiated by Bill Meadow in memory of his wife. Maurine was an active member of our club with a genuine affection for the club members and a love of the hobby and the outdoors. Bill’s name was added to this award in January 2001 after he passed away. The recipient of this award will receive a free week of room and board at the Wm. Holland Retreat in Young Harris, Ga. Also given is a small monetary allowance for gas expenses. The name of this award has been changed to also honor Bill Meadows.
