*In an effort to conserve energy and minimize cost per student due to rising fuel costs, the half day in Frankfort has been removed from the schedule of the Junior KYA Conferences. It is suggested that the $15 per delegate savings deducted from the cost of the conference be used to assist your schools' transportation fuel costs.
