Kach Essay Contest - Region II Results

I received the message below, from Dad Rick Smith, the Region II Representative on the DI Board of Directors and wanted to share it with all of you.

I am very proud of the fact that 7 of the 10 submissions came from Pennsylvania, and every one of them was well-written and carefully thought out. I really appreciate the efforts of our members who took part and who share their carefully thoughout essays.

Please take a moment and join me in congratulating Bro. Jonathan Webster of Delaware Valley Chapter on winning the Regional portion of this national contest. His essay will now be considered for the national prize.

All the others who participated are still in contention for the Pennsylvania prize, which will be announced at Convention.

Sincerely and fraternally,

"Dad" Tom Labagh
