President’s Award recipient 1996
The Manitoba Naturalists Society has over 25 committees and undertakes numerous projects each year. Being the MNS Treasurer entails a lot of work and responsibility, with many hours spent organizing and sorting out the financial complexities. André was the MNS Treasurer 1993-1994 and for the past year. I appreciate the dedication he has brought to this position.
