Entry fee of $10 per person is being asked for, a portion of the proceeds will go towards funding programs of the division, and a portion of the proceeds will go towards the cash prize given to the winning team in each session
We are working on a"bid for a buff would allow for teams to bid for the services/company of a federation leader for the duration of the Trivia evening

We have compiled a range of categories spanning from music, sports, technology, space, animals and more

 We will also have our division organizing meeting. This will include: approval of the Constitution, establishment of division dues , election of officers and a mapping out of the activities the division will take on during the coming year
 Five. We will be raffling off tickets for a limousine ride on July 4, what better way could there possibly be to cruise the town and take in fireworks?… I didn't think so :-)
 Keep a lookout for our special convention call to talk about what we plan on doing the entire week of convention and how you might get involved.
