GOLDEN CARROT AWARDS

     Yes friends, the Golden Carrot Awards are here!  The Golden Carrot is
a soul-stirring statue  of a heroic figure (6 inches high) holding aloft a
magnificent carrot; the carrot in natural colors, the figure & base in gold
finish; the whole cast out of the finest quality pot-metal.

     This _award of distinction_ will be presented to that attending member
who adds a little something extra to  a meeting,whatever it happens to be.
Presentation is determined and judged by the attending membership, given
by acclaimation to the most deserving nominee.

     The Golden Carrot will be presented at the same MinnStf meeting, but
will remain in the possesion of its guardian between meetings.  Recipients
will be announced in the following newsletters.

                   The above subject to acceptance and/or revision
