All information MUST BE ENTERED into the provided Excel document (download it here) and emailed as an attachment to neal51@verizon.net. Make sure to click “Enable Editing” once you download it and save it with your chapter name as the title.  Please note there are TWO TABS in this worksheet, and information must be entered on each one as described below. We cannot process lists submitted in other formats (e.g., Word, .pdf, etc.).
