Eva and Noel Jackson
The members of the Valley Forge Chapter of the American Rhododendron Society, this 6th day of November, 1994, award the Bronze Medal to Eva and Noel Jackson. Since you became members many years ago you have always been willing and dedicated workers on behalf of our Chapter and you have opened your home and garden for our enjoyment on many occasions. Both of you have served on numerous committees and assisted with many Chapter functions. We remember in particular Noel as an enthusiastic cashier at plant sales and Eva assisting customers with their selections. It is for your service, Eva, as Chapter president for two terms and for your continuing effort as editor of the Chapter newsletter that we express our sincere gratitude. You have provided guidance and direction at meetings, sales events, and shows and have promoted the genus
Rhododendron
including its native conservation for benefit of all. With gratitude to both of you, the Valley Forge Chapter is pleased to present to you its highest honor, the Bronze Medal. November 6, 1994.
