Notice of NSA Junior Events          S ummer 2011

  As current Vice President and Junior Chair for NSA, I would like to highlight events scheduled for this summer in an attempt to increase participation. Listed below are a number of dates that each club should be aware of. We are always looking for new host clubs and at the August meeting we will be setting up the summer schedule for 2012. If anyone has any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact me. Jonathan Foot (jfoot@verizon.net)
