Attending Duel Teams:
On behalf of the 316-365 Duel planning committee, I want to thank each of you for attending the 11th annual Duel on the Delaware off-season event yesterday. We had our largest crowd ever, 34 teams. I hope your teams had an enjoyable time and created some great memories from the event. Thanks to Salem Community College for hosting once again!
Congratulations to all the Duel Master Volunteer nominees. Thanks to all teams who sent in a nomination. Essays will be posted on our MOE 365 website (www.moe365.org) in the next week or two.
