Our 2001 Membership Contest has ended and as you will read further on in this issue, our 2002 Membership Contest is underway. But we thought at this time, we should review those Members who have made their mark over the years in recruiting. We know that it takes five new Members to become an ACE, but here are some who worked hard and will soon become a SHARKHUNTERS Recruiting Ace. They are our SHARKHUNTERS Recruiting...
