The 2012 Annual Meeting was held:

The Annual Meeting is an occasion to recognize our accomplishments and all who worked for NAMI Mercer in the past year, as well as to conduct several business functions.

In addition, the NAMI Walks awards for teams were presented at the meeting. A happy time was had by all, with friendships renewed and resolve strengthened!
