Thank you for your kind words about our Chairman's program. 1885 and 1629 have great programs, are are definitely District and Championship level Chairman's teams. This has been a huge transition year for us, moving from being a school based and hosted program, to a completely private, community based, non-profit organization. This past year, we have spent significant time, resources and money to acquire a large warehouse to house our new STEM Center. In doing so, we have not added as much new to our program this year as in previous years - but have created the foundation to significantly add to our program in the coming years. It is an honor to be compared favorably to our good friends 1885 and 1629.
