And that is why fundraising is a 12 month approach...

You don't have to worry about timelines that way.

After registration I posted a note on the white board in the lab welcoming the team to the San Diego regional. I listed our home event (Hawaii) and the Championships also. The new team members were interested but the remaining members of our traveling team were down right dower. When I asked why the long faces they replyed that the special invite for the "all-girl" teams to San Diego was interesting but that they felt sad that we would not be going to Wisconsin this year. It was like a second "home" event for them.

If any team is considering adding an additional event to their competition season consider Wisconsin as a top tier event. The people are some of the friendliest you will meet. The teams will give you the shirt off their backs if will help you get to the arena. We have made some life long friends there. It is not an easy event, the competition will be as hard as you will find anywhere, but the help and support is even better.

We may be changing cheese heads for cheesy poofs, but in the imortal words of Gen. MacArthur "we shall return" (team # 2437)

Please say it isn't sooooooo. Your team was a pleasure to have around, their energy and attitude will be missed in Milwaukee.

Good luck at all of the other comps your team is attending.
