Bill then asked for any nominations for the Bent Screwdriver Award.   There were no nominees for the award.  March 2001 award winner Randy Garcia of NICB came forth to explain why he won the award and why some other folks should have been given it along with him.  It appeared from the laughing that San Diego County Sheriffs Detective Gary Steadman (also WSATI Sergeant-at-Arms) agreed with Randy.

The raffle was then held.  There was some controversy as several of the members managed to draw their own tickets or tickets of the person sitting next to them at their table. 

The meeting was adjourned.
