POSTER CONTEST TIME!

It’s back-to-school for the kids and so time for your local chapter to encourage nuclear knowledge in the younger set.  And what better way to do that than breaking out the crayons to submit a poster for the annual NA-YGN poster contest?!?!

As always, judging will be completed by our membership attending the ANS meeting in November and more details can be found on our website http://www.na-ygn.org/publicinfo/leftdocs/2008%20NA-YGN%20Poster%20Contest.pdf

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

If you live in the Southeast region, have I got a deal for you!  The position of regional lead has just come open!  Please contact Liz for the details usaffairs@na-ygn.org
