    I ran across this banner that had been in a auction and I had never heard of a 4 letter award, anyone know the story behind it? HRP

    The 4 letters are - FMSF and they stand for :

    Finances, Management, Spirit & Facilities.

    Thank you. HRP

    If they're giving away awards for "4 letter words", I should certainly be a contender...both in quantity and quality:p
