Re: Is the Gainesville, FL team still around?

I am amazed by the interest that has been expressed in getting a team together. I am currently going to school in Jacksonville (although I don't know if I'm going back in the fall...), so I probably will not be able to help out as much as I would like. However, if someone heads up the effort to make a team I will assist in anyway possible.

My advice to whoever heads this up: get some students interested before seeking funding. From my experience, Gainesville is the type of town where it is very easy to get funding if you know the right people, but almost impossible otherwise. We were really really short on money in 2006 until a parent sent out two emails and doubled the amount of funding we had.
