Gentlemen....(and ladies, too!)..... No matter how much information is dispensed, folks seem to want more. I guess that is human nature. The recently released online shopping cart lists only those items for which there is a fee. Many of you have asked for more scheduling information on no-fee events. Here is a listing for all S-related events and activities -- both fee and no-fee. Hopefully this will satisfy the craving for more detailed information. Details and photos can be seen on the web site at:
