Additional Opportunities The following events are not “unit sanctioned” events but are other events that we have received information about and where southeastern native persona of our period would not be out of place. The fact that these events are not “unit sanctioned” may be due to scheduling issues, length of event, or our unfamiliarity with the quality of the event to name but a few reasons.
