Greetings,
I can definitely answer those questions. The state convention will be doing the Martin Luther King weekend from Friday, January 16 through Monday, January 19. Also, there is a scholarship for students to apply, in which I serve as the scholarship chair. The application should be out very soon. We hope to hear you as well in our meeting this Sunday
