2024 Annual Northeast Representation in Hampton, Virginia

The Northeast Region is thrilled to be represented by Judge Aline Noel Garel at the 2024 TICA Annual, to be held in Hampton, Virginia! We are planning to sponsor her at the usual $500 level.

 

In addition, Heather Ellis has volunteered to be our Raffle Basket Czar! Every region traditionally donates a raffle basket to the annual, and the region with the best raffle basket gets a prize! Being an adjoining region to the Mid-Atlantic, I am hoping for a strong showing of donations emblematic of the Northeast Spirit, from Toronto to Quebec City, New York to Portland, and all the way to Labrador! If you have donations for the Regional Raffle Basket, please bring them to the Northeast Regional Show in Binghamton, NY on August 10-11, 2024.
