Our next meeting has been rescheduled and will be on WEDNESDAY, 11/19.
Come prepared to discuss your progress, take tests (for academic problems), and bring rule books. You have been emailed as well. I understand there were a lot of conflict so needed to reschedule. Thanks.

Coaches' and Volunteer Training - UPDATE
I received the following message from the State Director with regards to the Training which would have been held this Saturday.
Unfortunately there is a conflict with our use of facilities for saturday's proposed training. I have tried my best to relocate our event for saturday but have been unable to find any other facility that we can get immediate approval for. We were trying to avoid the outrageous fees associated with renting our own facilities in a public school building so that this could be offered for free. I am working to find a new location with two dates in mind Saturday, November 22nd or Saturday, December 6. However there will likely be a fee associated with attending in order to offset our building use costs. I apologize for any inconvenience this will cause however in order to offer the tech and lab trainings we wanted it was unavoidable.
In addition unless more people step up to help lead event sessions the training will only include the following:
2 hour tech event/engineering training
2 hour lab event training
1 hour coaches strategies session
45 minute meeting with the Director about tournament policies and procedures
Please understand that board members and other volunteers are already committing a great deal of time to putting other things together. Trainings in other states are only successful when people volunteer to help run sessions. One of my earlier emails this year solicited volunteers to help run event sessions however I had very few responses.
