Please indicate your desire to participate in the Novice Tournament by answering NO to the question regarding past tournament play. We will place tournament “newbies” in the Novice Section unless you notify us otherwise via email.Registration must be received by close of business on Monday\, November 3. No walk-ins are permitted\, however a waiting list with alternates will be formed. Rules will be sent out ahead of the tournament. Players are asked to bring their 2025 NMJL cards; sets and table mats are greatly appreciated.Fee: $55 Members/$60 Non-members (includes brunch and tournament fee) \n\n\n\nVOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

SUMMARY:My Hallowed Ground
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Russell Rayman\, M.D.\, MPH\, DAvMed and authorA Special Program to Honor Our Veterans in collaboration with the J-Men’s Group \n\n\n\nDr. Russell Rayman is a former flight surgeon with the United States Air Force. He began his career in the military voluntarily in 1962 as an aerospace medicine resident and was stationed on bases around the world and stateside until his air force retirement in 1989. He then went on to work for NASA. His time on the battlefield and in the space program have been captured in his book\, “My Hallowed Ground\,” a fascinating chronology of service\, courage\, and experiences with the backdrop of key historical events. \n\n\n\nDr. Rayman will share his fascinating compelling story with you on November 14\, focusing mostly on his Vietnam experience; however\, this program is not a book sale. It is an opportunity to hear interesting anecdotes\, salute our veterans\, and enjoy special patriotic refreshments. \n\n\n\nThis program is made possible in part thanks to Synergy Home Care. \n\n\n\nFee: Complimentary to all.
