\nI regret to report that unlike two blogs in the past month,
\nthis one does not involve beer, but it does involve margaritas!  We held
\nour annual recognition event at The Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant<\/a> last
\nFriday.  With some of our partners and colleagues, we honored CNHP\u2019s
\nvolunteers, students, and staff over a delicious buffet lunch in the Agave Room
\nat the downtown Fort Collins restaurant.  <\/span><\/div>\n

\n We could not do what we do without our volunteers and
\nstudents, and they bring enthusiasm and fresh ideas to CNHP every day! 
\nOur three 2012 CNHP Outstanding Volunteer Awards went to Stacey Anderson, Julie
\nWhite, and Rebecca Hopson this year.  We are so grateful to them for their
\ncommitment to CNHP and wonderful work.  We also gave recognition to the
\nlong list of other volunteers who have worked with us in 2012!  Tanya
\nStevens, our newest volunteer, joined us as well.<\/span><\/div>\n
