Melvin can you help us get the message out.Due to circumstance over which we have no control, we will not be conducting the 9th annual Leadership Training Program nor the 10th annual National Most Service Years Award Presentation Oct 27-29, 2002 in Washington DC.These programs will still be held but we are going to be doing them in the States instead of in DC so you will have an even better chance to attend. However, the NA meetings planned for the end of this month in DC will no be held. It is important for NAs to get this info so they do not spend money unnecessarily to attend. Watch for more info about the National Award winners and about the schedule for Leadership Training Programs in your States.
