Designs can be brought in on January 16th  (New Extended Deadline), the first meeting back, or they can be emailed to 577parentassociation@gmail.com Please keep the design simple and not too complicated to avoid delays as the designs do need to be transferred into the proper format for application. No crest/crown allowed. All entries received by January 16 will be voted on over a two week period and the design with the most votes will be chosen to represent 577!
