With about 3 weeks to go until Kickoffs, I still have an opening in the Challenge division. Also, I am still definitely in need of staffers. If you are interested in staffing, which comes with remuneration (likely around $50) and lunch, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/YJyiB2cDCXyNqNVT6 .
