NHC judging this weekend

by

Hoping someone can help me out.  I had sent an E-mail a while back about volunteering for the NHC judging this weekend.  I never heard anything back and for the lfe of me cannot find who to contact now.

Does anyone know any info about the judging?

Who should I contact to see if they do need help?

Should I assume if I wan’t responded to that they don’t need me?

If anyone has any info let me know, I’d still like to Judge or Steward or whatever they need.
