Following is a question that I asked the Nat'l Ritual Advisor regarding saying the Pledge of Allegiance in the opening , and his response following that.
 
It has been dedided that each competing team at MINK Conference will be required to recite the Pledge at the proper place in the opening.  Punctuation will not be judged; however, each team will be judged on whether or not they recite the Pledge.
 
This is info for both the competing teams and judges. 

Ritual competition will be held on Friday afternoon and evening.  We will finish up on Saturday morning, if need be.
