REMINDER:
Next week, on Thursday, during the NCSCA Conference, at the Opening Plenary Sessions, please remember that we have the Regional Roll Call of all the REGIONS.
I need some "party people" in our region to gather noisemakers, signs, banners, etc., so that we can make your presence known during the roll call. This is a fun highlight of the conference which wakes everyone up for the conference!! Our Region- 4 is an awesome Region and we need to show a presence.
Last year I brought signs for each county and when I called out our counties you acknowledged your presence and held up the signs. Please feel free to make some noise this year if you come to the conference!!
Also, please, remember that if you want to volunteer at the conference contact Camille Cates Wilson, the volunteer coordinator. Camille can be reached at 919-560-3925 x25231.
I look forward to seeing many of you at the conference and please come to the Regional Meeting while attending the conference!!
Thank you so much!!
