No FTAs or Head Refs, yet -- but I can see that coming also.

We became a district event host team in 2013, and have no plans to stop doing that. Our volunteer presence is a little above average, but not all that unusual in Michigan. I know there are at least a dozen FiM teams with even more volunteer commitment, and more than that who will gladly arrive early and/or stay late to help with set-up and pack-up.

This is some of the magic of districts right here.

I will continue to watch Michigan and dream about what it would be like if CA didn't have 5 RD's with little motivation to make Districts happen...
