Note from Pam
The junior Members conducted themselves excellent in 2009 and I am sure the same conduct will hold true from our Members in 2010.
Remember, collared shirts must be tucked in, hats worn correctly (forward) prior to coming to the registration table. If your shirt is not tucked in you will be asked to leave, tuck it in, then come back to register. It is so important that we look good at each event and represent NNJGA well.
