| The 56th Anniversary
convention at Oak Brook Hills Marriott was another great success!
Among the events was IMAWA's
14th annual charity fundraiser to benefit the Special Olympics Illinois, during
which our members raised $3,700!
All monies raised at every IMAWA auction go directly to Special Olympics Illinois.
Including this year, IMAWA members have contributed more than $83,000 in cash
(which doesn't even include all the generous donations of items for the auction and other
events). Congratulations to all!
Carey Klein, daughter
of Mr. & Mrs. Richard Klein, Affordable Moving Co., Chicago, was named
recipient of IMAWA's 2009 Doug Schneider Scholarship.
In 1997, the board of directors
unanimously voted to rename the IMAWA scholarship as The Doug Schneider
Scholarship in memory of our board member Doug Schneider (Bill's Moving &
Storage, Rock Island), who inspired the scholarship back in 1994. Ninteen students
have benefited from Doug's foresight, and we're proud of them.
