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

NA-YGN Encouraging Smart Voting!
NA-YGN has been in contact with the campaigns of both Barack Obama and John McCain to
discuss energy needs and the future of nuclear. The Obama call went well (September 23)
and the transcript are available at
http://www.na-ygn.org/publicinfo/leftdocs/Obama%20Transcript.pdf
Due to the state of financial markets, the McCain call has been delayed for a date TBD,
please stay tuned for details!
