There will be a meeting on Tuesday, September
14 at 5:00 p.m. in room 210 for all students interested

We will discuss the competition and tryouts for the team.
If you are interested in trying out for the team, you should
attend this meeting. We will field at least one team of
four students. The Regional Competition will be held in

of our teams placed in the regional semi-finals.
