you notes from JROTC cadets who had received our award. In total we presented 4
senior ROTC and 18 JROTC awards. He also presented the chapter with a
participation ribbon from the Chapter Challenge Contest awarded at the State
Annual Meeting. Even though we submitted more points for our activities in 2004
than in prior years, we did not place in the top three in our division.
The state society is forming
a speaker’s bureau. The secretary requested that any member interested in
participating submit their name to him so he could send the information on to
the state coordinator.

current balance of $2,264.25. This included a check from the Endowment Trust
Fund for $225 in reimbursement for our 2004 ROTC awards expenses and a $57 dues
