they are responsible for to Roger Lear (learbsa@ivwnet.com), no later than
July 14. We must have the calendar published in mid-July so that the units,
who do their planning for the next year in August and September, can
co-ordinate their unit calendars with the District 2004 calendar. The
Committee Chairs should also make sure that if the event requires a date
reservation with a campground, mall, church, etc., that those reservations
are made and guaranteed for the required date.

Contest for any new districts being formed. Once the districts have agreed
