The ALABCA is going back and honoring past Hall of Fame Classes and Distinguished Service Award Recipients with a nice plaque and ring for the classes who didn’t receive those items when they were honored, due to the lack of ALABCA funds available at the time. Members of the 2002 – 2005 honorees pictured above were honored at this past awards banquet.
