Eric,

Not sure if this matters, but I did email Brent a week or so ago. That message is below.

I'm more than happy to cede the date to you if you are willing to host a policy division. We'll help administer the policy portion of the tournament -- we only need rooms for the participants and access to the internet. I need to host on the 28-29th because we made a commitment to other schools in the region that there will be a policy/world's event on the weekend of Sept. 28. If the tournament is 45 miles down the road, I can't see there being any significant concern.

We always lose a couple thousand $$ hosting, so it is no skin off my teeth to see another nearby school take over our weekend so long as both formats are offered.

Let me know your thoughts,

Ken

Hi to all

I'm happy to keep our calendar efforts alive, and even improved for 2013-2014.

Let's not eliminate the list-serve. Let's just add a new forum as well. Each has its value.

Send me your Worlds events for the next school year, and I'll put them on the calendar.

Then I'll send the new calendar out and I'll bring it to LaVerne for us to keep filling in the information over the summer.

I enclose a template, which includes this year's calendar, for date checks. And I have the new dates on the new calendar, listed by Fridays.

So send me your tournaments! If it's tentative, I'll mark it "tentative"

Thanks. We have loved our first full year in Worlds. Thanks for being so warm and welcoming.

Onward.

Brent
