I want to thank Jack Dangermond for supporting our youth and the program! We are [...]
Our presentation was on Wednesday, October 31st, at 3:30 EST. The kids did absolutely incredible. There was a bit of nervousness but they did great. We have the video tape, but not the cable to attach it to the computer! So we will have to upload it when we get back.
