CURRENT NEWS> 
This year Junior Mus will be going back to the regional semifinals system, with the winner of the region advancing to the finals at the convention.  Ideally each club will have a tournament and then get together for the semi-finals within their region, to compete for a chance to represent at the convention, which will held in Buffalo, WY this summer in July. Not only will this promote Mus, but it is another great way for our youth to get together.  Volunteers have stepped up from each region to organize the tournaments, and deserve big thanks.  Each regional team will receive $200 per person to help defer the cost of getting to the convention.  In addition to the cash, each participant will receive a trophy provided by NABO.

The regions are as follows, with those in charge of each area:
WEST: (Valerie Arrechea):  San Francisco Bay Area, Los Banos, Fresno, Rocklin, Seattle, Vancouver
NORTH: (Tyler Smith):  Idaho clubs, Wyoming clubs, Salt Lake, Ontario
SOUTH: (Candida Echeverria): Southern California Clubs, Bakersfield, Las Vegas, New Mexico
