Time Flyies!

We have one (1) month - 30 days - 728 hours before the National Campionship in Atlanta, GA. This week we were able to get out flight blocked for a good rate and rooms blocked. The question stands...who is going? and how do we pay for this endeavor??

This week it is going to be extra difficult to raise and funds or do much planning as everyone is on Spring break.

It will be time to leave before we know it!
