will be creating a Facebook page for the 50th Anniversary so that we can invite as many former Teens back as
possible. A logo will also be created so that we can start promoting the event early. We are looking for a former
Teen who has made it in his/her own right to be the Honorary Chairman. If you have any suggestions, please
contact the National President.
