other information regarding the ANC may be found on pages 20-21 in this

are a total of seventeen (17) resolutions to be considered for adoption at the ANC (see pages 24-39).

ANC Souvenir Ad Book
Remember to purchase an ad in the ANC Souvenir Ad Book. It’s fun and it helps to defer costs of holding an
ANC. Anyone may purchase an ad – individual members, Chapters, Committees or a group of friends. Be
creative and have fun with it and support the National Sojourners ANC!
