Wisconsin-Illinois Chapter Service Award Ann Munson The Wisconsin-Illinois Chapter is proud to present Ann Munson with the 2011 NARGS Chapter Service Award. Ann joined the Chapter in 1997 and immediately began sharing her garden and knowledge with Chapter members. Ann has been very supportive of the activities of the Chapter, presenting programs and hosting garden tours at her home. Plant sales, trough workshops, and potluck dinners have been hosted at her lovely home and garden. In 2001-2002 Ann served as Vice-chair of the Chapter and from 2005-2007 she was Secretary. She also took on the job of coordinating our seed-packing effort for the NARGS Seed Exchange one year. Ann has been our unofficial “host” at our meetings since we started holding them at the Dane County Extension Building, including coming early to open and set up the room. This included making coffee and setting up the projector. Her cheerful and efficient service to the Chapter makes her a deserving recipient of this award. Submitted by Ed Glover Bulletin Board 307
