call for Chapter Award nominations

As we all know, work in the HHW world can be a bit crazy at times. To recognize the strangest, scariest, and/or coolest thing that happened in recent years, NAHMMA gives the Golden Bung Awards for this, the "Lighter Side" of the field. If you have or know of any strange, quirky, ancient, and/or unknown items dropped off at a HHW facility or discovered during a field visit, please submit an awards nomination. Share your experiences and lessons learned and we can all have fun and learn from your experiences.
