National Meeting of the USAWA

By Al Myers

The National Championships are about here, and with that comes the Annual National Meeting of the USAWA.   It will be held on June 21st, Friday night, at 7PM.  It will be at the house of our President Denny Habecker.  His address is: 637 N. 11th Ave, Lebanon, PA.  Please try to make the meeting if possible as all the yearly decisions are made at this meeting. Plus this is the year for USAWA elections – so if you want to run for office this is your opportunity.  I have worked up the meeting agenda, which is still subject to change.
