I was supposed to get this posted last week but the Vegas craziness and then work craziness when I got home postponed things a little bit. I would like to thank Mark Griffin for the opportunity to put together a group of kids to attend the Billiard Education Foundation Junior Nationals. We have opened this up to all parents or league operators that would like to nominate a person 19 years of age or younger for a chance to be picked to attend the Junior Nationals. If you are interested and/or have questions, feel free to contact me SarahR@playcsipool.com. Please return all nominations to the same email address.
Here is the original press release and question form. The deadline is June 1, 2010.
Thanks!
