Eight Arizona JOADs were recognized at Straight N Arrow JOAD Friday night between their beginners and advanced class. The recognition focused on their Nationals and in some cases International achievements.

All were congratulated for their outstanding effort and steadfast family support.  The $3145.00 raised and donated to Arizona members of the Jr World Team was distributed to each of the six members of the team, (over $500 each) to help pay for the travel to England.  AZJOAD presented a plaque to commemorate their National tournaments and US Jr World Team membership.

Next up are the AZ State Outdoor Championship/Duel in the Desert Trials and the Duel in the Desert, both in October.

The Indoor season starts with a bang in January 2005 with the US World Indoor Championship Team Trials.
