Barbara recognized the contributions of twelve individuals and 10 community groups for outrstanding and long-term service. WIN staff presented attractive and informative display board describing and illustrating the work of the Community Development, Energy Education, Homebuyer Education, Foreclosure Prevention, and Community Organizing Departments at WIN.
