The Penny Award

The plaques include a Lincoln penny for the year of the award, the name of the recipient, the phrase "recipient of the Actorsingers," then the date, then "Penny Award" and the phrase "for constant personal commitment to the organization"


The Penny Award is selected by a committee which is always chaired by Penny herself and includes (depending upon availability) the last one or two award recipients.
