CROIX CHORDSMEN MEMORIAL AWARD

The Croix Chordsmen Memorial Award was instituted in 1986. The award was originally named "The Charlie Palmer Award" and is traditionally presented to the chapter member who best demonstrates an outstanding level of participation in the chapter activities during the past year.  Charlie Palmer was a real "spark plug" in the chapter year after year.  The award name was changed to include many other chapter members who exhibited those same qualities and have since joined Charlie in the "Chapter in the Sky."
