Day on the Hill Rescheduled

Due to inclement weather in West Tennessee that is expected to continue overnight, the NAACP Day on the Hill scheduled for tomorrow has been canceled and rescheduled for Tuesday, February 23, 2010. Please have your NAACP unit representative to contact your area superintendent and advises them of the change.

Also, we ask that you complete the revised participation forms with the adjusted dates (especially the youth permission form).

If you will be participating, there are forms that must be completed and returned to our office no later than 2/18/10.  Please email the state office at tnnaacp3@bellsouth.net for those forms.

We look forward to seeing you there!
