In all fairness I must mention that the NE won a lot of awards at the awards luncheon & at the installation dinner (and that Aphigal's wonderful alum group also did very well). However, the West also did well at the luncheon so it would take a lot to convince me that the NE even comes close to the West (even if you break us into two regions)!
