Jean is working closely with Christina, our Western District Director, on the National meet. The Sec/Treasurer has always worked with the directors as they put on our National meets and I'll be doing what I can to help.
Below is one list of possible National meet awards to use to get started. It is very similar to what we've done before and I would like to hear comments and suggestions here. I have increased the cash award amounts and think it is time for the ABC to offer more in this area at our annual National meets. Lets get some discussion going.
