We haven't. TRW usually gave us $20,000 a year. This year they're bought by Grauman. TRW corp who gave the money is "no more" so local TRW gave us $5000 for registration. Rumor is Grauman won't give more money, altho we won't know til we apply when things are in place - within a month.

We've written and applied many other places - so far no luck.

We planned to go to FL, we don't have the funds. There may be more teams like that than you think.

Disneyland! Problem solved!
