October 2013 Update
Patriot’s Pen
To everyone that has volunteered and everyone that would like volunteer; Rex and I will be picking up the essays on 1 Nov. We will have them numbered and ready for judging on the 4th. We will announce a time and place to meet. We will be doing the HMS that day so Rex can get the photos that week. We will send SV to Sherwood Oaks, as we have more time on that. We can do ST G’s at the same time as HMS.
The scoring is as follows:
- Two judges score each contestant
- Each judge will independently score each paper
- Final scores are calculated by the average of the two judges’ scores
- Contestants will be sorted by score, with 1 in 7 going forward
Veterans’ Day Poppy Drive
We still need more for the Poppy Drive, If you did not sign up get hold of Rex or me any time day or night.
