This makes me happy for what it could mean down the road especially if (when) we go to districts, it could mean $3000 for veteran teams to do 2 their two districts which would be amazing.

So, I'm not the expert (if you know Lauren, she handled a lot of the policy stuff), but because of the way the money was allocated, it is only guaranteed for this year. However, that being said, we are hoping that since the ball is now moving on this, it will be easier to secure funding in the future (and hopefully more!). But that's part of the reason why the thank you notes are so important!
I believe an email about this was sent to team leads some weeks ago, so hopefully everyone knows, but make sure to spread the word, just in case!
