Tonight’s meeting 2/10/10 is still on, but if you or your parents have any doubts about the roads please stay home. Use your best judgment.

With another 2 days free of school you all should be nice and rested, as well as caught up on all your school work. Over the next week we will be choosing the drivers for the competition so if you are interested in being on the drive team (driver, operator, or Human player) please let me know before the end of Saturday. Also remember to check the team handbook for the requirements for these positions.

So much for extra work days…

No school and bad weather mean no meeting tonight (monday 8th). We will be meeting Tuesday at the normal time assuming the weather is fine.
