I'm not too happy about the level of information we've been getting. I know it hasn't been finalized yet, but at least keep us updated and at least tell us more about your plans NOW during the summer while teams are fundraising.

We better be seeing new information when registration opens on the 26th.
I'm with Akash. Ideally, we would've laid out our fundraising goals by now, but until we know exactly what's going on with Districts and or Regionals, we won't be able to do that. A $5k difference in registration is HUGE to my team, along with whether or not we'll NEED to travel to an event this year. I'm hoping that information (even tentative, or just saying what region is going to the district mode) will be out soon...
