Students can still turn in T-shirt sponsors. Some suggestions: Italian Pie, Bill Hubbard's office, Nicki Monica's office, River Parish Physical Therapy, Dr. Favalora, Dr. Danos, Dr. Accuri, Sicily's, Gregg's, Curves, Latter and Blum, First American, etc. The absolute last day for the sponsors is Weds. Take advantage as this money goes straight into their accounts.

Football pools for the LSU v Florida will be on sale starting next week. Each student must sell 3 $10 squares.

We are in need of a parent who has a CDL or who is willing to get a CDL to drive our club. The school will begin charging us 16/ hour for a bus driver plus a 50 dollar bus fee. We really can't afford this increase in the spending budget for our club as we have 9 tournaments and this adds considerably to the cost of competing.

It appears that we will be chartering a bus to nationals as the price to travel with such a large group for airfare is around 500 dollars plus baggage fees and a taxi to get us to the hotel. I hope to have everything written up by Monday for prices. We will charter the bus and share with different schools to decrease the cost as much as possible.

Please talk to any teachers at schools with 5 - 8th grade. We need a good showing at our tournament to make money for nationals.

We will have a bake sale on Oct 9.

We are looking for several students that will commit to staying after school one day a week to work on the Log 1 tournament. We missed out on over 3000 last year by 50 points or so. We really want to win that money as it will be very helpful for nationals.
