STUDENT ATTENDANCE AT AWARD BANQUET

Many of our generous award sponsors attend the November banquet and look forward to presenting their award personally to the recipient.  It is embarrassing to the sponsor and the N. G. Beram Veterans Association when the recipient or his/her representative is not at the banquet.  Therefore it is expected that the award recipient or his/her representative will attend the banquet. 
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS COURTESY COULD FORFEIT THE AWARD.

Keep a copy of all application materials for your records.
