Ken, you had a long post, and i'm not going to copy it here. I just want to reiterate somehting that I said before, but now i have more facts. In 1997, at the end of the New Jersey regional, we were giving the option of going to Flordia. (we didn't have approval till then). We had two weeks, and we fundrasied over 10,000 dollars, booked a flight for over 80 students (our traveling team that year), and got hotel reservations at disney. I do want to say we would never have gotten hotel reseverations or flights down (and back) if it wasn't for the work of one secretary at Johnson and Johnson.
I guess the point i'm trying to make is, money isn't really as a limiting factor as alot of people are making out to be. Yes, I realize that 80 very driven students is a force to be reckoned with, fundraising or cheering wise. (You guys must be beginning to go deaf from us at New Jersey.) I also realize that some teams are in area's where it's just not possible to raise that much money. But it can be done.
Mike
