Listed below are the 2008 winners of the prestigious AACA Master Editor award winners. With 25 winners this year, a new record was set within the AACA. May I point out that the scoring rules were not relaxed this year. These editors actually improved their respective newsletters that much.

Please have your newsletter editor consult the on-line version of the Editor's Handbook on this web site under "Publications" to improve your region's newsletter.

Also a big Congratulations to Pat and Bill Lytle of the Canton Chapter of the Ohio Region for receiving the Ann S Eady Award this year. Their name can be seen typed on the Ann S Eady typewriter that resides in the trophy case at Hershey Headquarters in the near future.

Congratulations to all the winners for 2008!

To Publications and National Awards Committees,
Bill and I are humbled to be the recipients of a 2008 Master Editor Award and the Ann S. Eady Memorial Award.
We thank each of you that encouraged and shared tips with us last year at the Annual Meeting, especially Earl Beauchamp, Wayne Burgess, Judy Edwards and June Peterson-Crane.
We have enjoyed all of our AACA activities, beginning in 1964, with tours, seminars, committees, judging, offices held, chairmanships, etc. BUT the biggest joy is the friends we have made, the people we have met and the places we have been. WHAT A HOBBY! Our cup runneth over.
Thank you so much for this honor, we will strive to be worthy.

Bill Lytle, Life Member, 1996 Founders Tour Chairman-Akron, OH
Pat Lytle, 1989 Master Editor - Ohio Region Sparkplug

Pat, I'm proud of you and Bill getting both of these awards. I helped score your newsletters this year and could see your publication improve as the months went by. I'm also well aware of what you and Bill give BACK to the organization.

On behalf of the Publications Committee, Congratulations!
