Up Date Power Polls and T-shirts

T-shirts

You may begin placing orders for Nationals T-shirts on line. There are two reasons for pre-ordering:
1. This will guarantee size and color you want (this year we will order very close to the preorder number and if you don’t preorder it is likely you will not be able to get your first choice).
2. FREE water bottle – preorders will receive a Nationals 2009 water bottle (details on website).
