I hope this finds you all well, enjoying these nice days. I have been a bit under the weather for a while now and just cannot seem to shake it.
I hope you are all working on promoting Americanism in your communities and in your schools. Please let me know what you are doing to promote the program so I can share it with the Northwestern Division.
Essays are due to your local unit no later than March 1, 2025, so they can be judged at the local level. Please contact your local unit president so that you have the correct cover sheet. Unit winners need to be sent to me no later than March 15, 2025.
