USAWA

By Al Myers

Nationals is right around the corner, and with that comes our Annual National Meeting. The USAWA has only one meeting per year which always coincides with our National Championships. It’s at this meeting the big issues of the USAWA are decided upon.  The rest of the year the organization is governed by the Executive Board.

The meeting will be held at Frank Ciavattone’s home on Friday night (the day before the meet).  Frank’s address is 204 East Street, East Walpole, MA.  Frank has graciously offered to feed us as well before the meeting! Supper will be at 6:00 PM with the meeting following that.  These are Frank’s words:

“The menu for the meeting will be Lasagna and Cold Cuts etc plus drinks! I figure we can eat at 6 and you can start the meeting at 7pm. This will give everyone to spend time to rest or catch up with old friends! Looking forward to our reunion!!! “
