Great job everyone at Youth Legislature! I am very proud of everyone. I hope a good time was had by all, and that you all learned LOTS in the process! Special recognition goes to Sonia Jaime for an award for an outstanding delegate in Junior Youth Leg, to Kemper Gokeman for being an outstanding delegate in First Year, to Aaron Cecil for one of the outstanding bills in the House, and Ben Hubbard for being THE best Senator (an award our delegation has never gotten!)
We've been invited to go to Birmingham for a Mock Trial Tournament in April! We will go down on Friday, April 8, and compete on Saturday, April 9. Registration costs are $30 per student and additional costs will be determined when we make our hotel reservations and figure out which vehicles we're driving down, but should be roughly $40 to $50 each.
Sorry for the rush, but we need to figure out teams and get started this week. If at all possible, please know by Wednesday whether you plan to commit to be on a team. As usual, we won't need the additional money until we go, but we need to get the $30 registration paid by next week, so either this Wednesday or next, please plan to bring that.
Speaking of April and money, we have talked about the possibility of another Government Club trip to Washington, D.C. The only dates I see that are even possibilities are the weekend after the Mock Trial competition, most likely Thursday, April 14 through Monday, April 18. It's very difficult to give precise figures for total costs until we have a better idea of how many are going, vehicles, etc. But based on our last two D.C. trips, I expect it to be in the $300/student range. I would like an initial count on who things they would be interested/available to go in the next week or two, and then I can narrow more of that down.
