ANNOUNCEMENT

It is customary for the Board to receive the current year's proposed Silverwood judges panel from the Judges Selection Committee at the June meeting. Once approved, the panel is released. This year we have a unique situation and have voted to release the slate earlier so people can make choices from a knowledge base. The Board has unanimously voted to approve the proposed slate of judges in the following order:
Judge #1: Lynne Myall, Judge #2: Claudia Sharp, Judge #3: Phil Brodeur.

As many of you will now be aware, the uniqueness lies in the fact that Lynne and Claudia are the judges for the New England weekend. The entries close on May 13th for that weekend and the Board felt compelled to reveal the Silverwood slate at this time.

Mary Remer
