We're #1156 from Brazil. That's southern hemisphere ( duh! ), which means it's summer when you guys are in winter. That also means our kids are in their summer vacations during build phase.

We've been under some pressure to define a rule, before the season actually starts, as to who gets to go. Some of them aren't really willing to drop 2 months in the seashore with beaches and all and then get the news that "sorry, but we picked Joe instead".

I'll probably part of the staff that does the "picking", and I already feel bad about not being able to take everyone ( which we are trying, but a $50k budget seems far-from-possible at this point ). Right now we're aiming at taking, at the most, 10+staff to the Nationals ( out of a 20-25 student count ).

thanks for the input
