During past years, attendance at the MANDATORY meeting has decreased, schools have not received correct information and tickets have not been picked up.

This year, because numerous schools have expressed interest in joining, any school who fails to send a representative will be excluded from the program. If you cannot attend, it is imperative that you send someone else who can attend for you.

Please be sure that you call and confirm participation in this year's program.
