The fourth item due on June 1, 2016 is the T-shirt Design contest. This is to showcase the talent of the youth of our organization. Think how proud your parents, grandparents, or you yourself will be if your design is chosen. Maybe some of our clubs could encourage the youth at their local meetings to get together and do this together. Take time to fill in applications and for the new family that thinks they may not have a chance the local clubs could be the place that you will find that everyone has a fair chance at winning.
