Ray & Peggy Koetter, Indiana

Two of the most dedicated and hard-working members in Indiana SAAC, Ray and Peggy contribute tirelessly in so many ways. They manage three of the most effective parts of the Spring Fling—parking on the show field, the noontime picnic for over 500 people, and the gathering of all those door prizes!

We thank you and honor you with this well-deserved award.
