                                                More money is needed to travel.  This has been and issue and will be with the fuel costs as much as they are.  Gary explained that it                                                goes (money breakdown) how many you have participating in your own region.  So to get more money we need players.   Also if the                                           team would like to work on a raffle item to help defray some of the cost that should not be a problem, for the board and the team to                                             work  together.
