Henderson County- Who was the first Netwest Rep there?

Today I am re-blogging a post from 2015 because we have new members who don't know about our history. We want them to know about one of our most active reps who was, actually, the first (Netwest) NCWN-West rep for Henderson County. 

She was dedicated and loyal to NCWN and NCWN-West, giving her time and energy for other writers and for her writing organization. If you are new, let Lana know we still appreciate her.
