Thank you for all the replies! Very, very encouraging. Sorry about the whole apostraphae thing, on dial-up through my online school but I have to use \"alt-methods\" to access CD.

I dont plan on burning any bridges, as they may become useful later, or even starting off. Tomorrow I will start leaving messages for surrounding schools and scout out local businesses/corporations. I\'ll call them during the week. Also, I forgot all about parents (hehe, no offense) since they arent very involved in the current team.

Please PM me more info on the whole becoming-non-profit thing you were talking about.
I have one member working on a presentation for showing to potential sponsors.

I realize this process will not be easy. But the end-result will be so rewarding. Helping these students get the most out of the program.
