We had a category for "Most improved member", but no one nominated anyone for it, so it was dropped. I do have someone that wants that ribbon, so I will ask Greg if he will add it back to the list. Anyone else want to be labeled "most improved member" for a year?

I never liked people who received tons of special attention for improving. I remember that was an award in 5th grade, and some kid purposefully was horrible at the beginning of the year, just to get the award :devil:
