Lil Ferreira Award
The Lil Ferreira Award was created in 1979 to honor the outstanding contribution of a committee person, on a Regional level, working on a National Meet Planning Committee.

The Vintage Fashion Awards
The purpose of the Vintage Fashion Awards is to encourage the wearing of period clothes during National Meet activities. The two permanent trophies were donated by Stella Pyrtek-Blond in 1989, and honor the most accurate period male and female fashions. The two Awards are: The "Henry B. Joy Award" — for the gentleman and The "Alice H. Ramsey Award" — for the ladies.

For the gentleman, the "Henry B. Joy Award" is named after the man who was the President of the Packard Motor Car Company from 1910 to 1916. Mr. Joy's manner of dress was a delight to the eye, whether driving his Packard down a dusty road, or presiding over a Board of Directors meeting.
