Trudie McLaren, in whose name HIV Edmonton created the Trudy McLaren Volunteer of Excellence Award, was not able to accept her award last year due to prior commitments.  The Board of Directors took the opportunity at the 2007 AGM to give her that award and to thank Trudie for her amazing contribution in time and energy over the years in keeping our archives safe and organized.
