THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO ATTENDED THE 36th ANNUAL MEETING!

We were honored to have Mr. Hal B. Howard, Jr join us for the annual membership meeting, the first since he so generously donated Howard Hall to MHI. We presented Hal with a beautiful portrait that we will hang in the Grand Salon of Howard Hall. He was very touched by this gift and pleased to hear about all the great work we accomplished this past year.

We welcomed our new 2011 Board members:
