We call our the 'Empress of Nourishment and Lodging' (its been students mom's for the last two years).

We have several mom's in particular who have been involved since nearly our beginning back in 1996 and do so without complaint. Every year at Nationals they wake up early in the AM to make all the lunches for everyone on the team. I saw them at work early Saturday morning in one of the hotel rooms and there was an assembly like no other. They handle all the travel and lodging for all our trips and deal with chaos that is collecting money from team members (both students and mentors). This year they arranged for the charter bus down to Atlanta. Without them...well I don't want to think what that might be.
