Order to cancel the Department of Michigan 2021 Boys State program

To all concerned,

Per the guidance given to us by the Department Executive Committee (DEC) during the DEC meeting of March 29, 2021, there were to be a minimum of 100 boys registered and fees paid by May 28, 2021 to be allowed to move forward with the Boys State program. As of today, May 28, 2021, the Department has received 61 registrations.

Therefore, I am cancelling the 2021 Boys State program as per the DEC guidelines.

It is with regret that I take this action, but directions were clearly stated by the Department Executive Committee.

Commanders, please forward this information to all posts.

Barry Wood

Commander
