| Cynthia Eid, Maker of the Lifetime Achievement Award | |  We are very pleased to report that Cynthia Eid is going to continue to make the beautiful piece that SNAG gives to each Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. Cynthia won our design competition many years ago and has been making the award ever since. Even with the price of silver rising, she has generously kept the price affordable for SNAG and donates the time she spends making them. Thank you, Cynthia.
