Hi Linda:

I believe Doris Underwood deserves this award.  Not only has she given hours
and hours of work to COA and our local club...but she has also contributed
a lot financially.

She constantly promotes COA to every sheller!

She is such an asset to our club and quite a business woman for sure.

Shellingly, Bobbi Cordy
