The final votes have been counted and the final recipient will be announced at the October general meeting. That's right, this program has come to an end.
We wish to thank Juan Cantavella for starting this program in 2019 as a way to “give back”. Juan has funded the $400 award most months with few exceptions (12x12 and National shows for example). Many CAL members were touched and challenged through this program. Congratulations all People Choice winners. |
