Heavy Medal Award Committee Volunteers: PLEASE RE-SUBMIT FORMS
18 people volunteered to be a part of the Heavy Medal Award Committee on Wednesday. Unfortunately, as I was in the process of finalizing an information sheet for the volunteers….I deleted all of the information from the Google Form! After trying every possible angle to recover the information, it’s clear that this is impossible. I had not yet saved any contact information.
So I now have to ask everyone who filled in the form on Wednesday to submit the form again as soon as you can. And since we did have a full committee, if you did not submit a form already, please do not submit one in this regrettable and unplanned second round.

My apologies for the confusion and inconvenience. My hope is that everyone who volunteered will be able to re-submit quickly, and we’ll be back on track with the full HMAC and a final Heavy Medal Book List very soon. (But I really wish I hadn’t messed up like I did…)
