We'll use the money for promotional efforts, funding prerun trips, buying equipment , our Route Book project and for our social events." "The Organizing Team really appreciates that these businesses and the PVCA care about what were doing enough to support us with financial assistance. I want to thank 'Commander' Brent Hicks on our Team for his work in brokering these sponsorships. At this point, a year and a half before we go, we're already past halfway in reaching the $20,000 goal the Team set for fund raising." "Our Team is going to continue to actively seek additional sponsorship," the Caravan Captain continued, "I anticipate after our second meeting this coming June we will have more announcements about SCSN Caravan sponsors." >>>Other News<<< >>Decision Close on Departure Headquarters<< On 15 March, at its first meeting of 2008, the SCSN "Commander's Council" discussed the hotel property the Caravan will use for it's pre-departure events and activities.
