Re: How has the economic crisis affected your team?

Not directly to us (they still sponsor us) but a team I was helping which is located 5 minutes away from the Siemens Corporation HQ was turned down by the directer of the charitable giving foundation and stated "in these hard times," they just couldn't do it. Totally sucked b/c usually when teams live in a company's area they will receive sponsorships or donations, but seems like the economic downturn does have effects on everyone.

Best regards to all the teams struggling out there. The only thing I wonder now is how long we too will last. =/
