On December 9th IEPPV held it’s annual awards dinner at the Eagle Glen Golf Club in Corona, CA. This allows IEPPV to honor it’s members, board and key contributors to IEPPV over the past year. It also allows IEPPV to introduce the 2016 board and recognize life long achievements and contributions to IEPPV over it’s long and storied history. It is also a time for fun, friendship, good food, drink and you the member to pick your Peoples Choice Award image from the past years Image Comp merited images from members who decided to enter the Peoples Choice Competition at the dinner.
Also during the awards dinner Raphael Munoz received his Hall of Fame Award from two IEPPV Hall of Famers Bob Fletcher and Bruce Bonnett along with Hall of Famer Frank Peele. That is the featured image for this article. Pictures of this event were contributed by Amelia Durham.
