NJSA Southeast Regional volunteers needed

The NJSA Southeast Regional show is quickly approaching and we are looking for volunteers and sponsors. We are in need of people willing to help with the skillathon contest, showmanship contest, and working in the NJSA booth. We are also looking for people or businesses who are willing to become an NJSA sponsor. Sponsoships are what make the NJSA such a successful organization and they are available at all levels.
