Welcome Southside Middle School's Jiachen Li, President-Elect

Andrew Jackson High School's Colleen Guseman, Multicultural Chair!

As we consider the rising cost of everything and in an effort to balance the budget, at the request of the officers, the membership voted to raise In-Person festival fees to $25.

As the organization grows, incorporating volunteer work from our membership will make festival days go smoother.
