The National Society as long used contests as a means to keep our members engaged and interested in the committee work that is being done at the National, State, and local society levels. This administration is no different, and I am pleased to have guest writer and State Americanism Chair Carolyn Mowery share more about this fun new contest with you today. In addition to this blog more can be learned about this contest and others during our fall workshops this August. In Service, Cecile
