A Special Directors’ Award has been given to Eva Logan for eight years of service as a volunteer on the VHLFA Hotline and chairing the Georgia chapter. I'm sure many of you remember her warm Southern voice, comforting and coaching you through new information and hard realities. Eva, we love you and we thank you for your willingness to share yourself with all of us.
