The Coleman County Division of
the American Heart Association
received an award at the Annual
Leadership Conference held in Abi
lene July 26, 1983. Incoming presi
dent Paul Wheat accepted the

The award cited the Coleman

members", states Paul Wheat.
The ultimate goal of the American
Heart Association is to reduce the
number of deaths and disabi-

eases. With the major part of each
dollar raised channeled into re-
