  Session is approaching and its time to start planning for your banner. As in years past there will be no specific theme, and this year's competition will again be divided into 2 award categories: large and small Bethels. There will be awards for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in the large Bethel category and a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards for small Bethels too, hoping to encourage more competition.
  All banners must be either 3 feet by 5 feet or 5 feet by 3 feet. Please do not include your Bethel number on the banner. Include a sheet of paper with your Bethel number, whether your size category, the number of daughters and their ages that worked on the banner and a summary of your banner.
