Plus it is a school activity and during the summer kids minds turn to other things. And people are not around as much.
My suggestion is let people have the summer off. In the fall, start recruiting all over again. This year's team will be refreshed and ready to go. They should then be ready to get started again.

I disagree. I think that is good to keep you're team going during the summer months. I think the summer is the best time to do fundraisers, and why not, the weathers nice, get them out of the way. I understand that many teams do not have the resources to do it, but if they do, I would highly recommend it.
Good Luck to everyone at the invitationals.
