> ry%5D=null&_rdr Here are some more details about the tournament, such 
> as address, hours, parking and public  transportation information:
> The tournament will take place at the George Mason University 
> Recreation and Athletic Center at 4350 Banister Creek Court, Fairfax, 
> Virginia 22030. The games start at 8 AM on Saturday morning and run 
> through 7 PM that night, so feel free to come by anytime that day. On

> For those using public transportation, the closest stop is 
> Vienna/Fairfax on the orange line. From there you can take the CUE
> Green-2 bus (which accepts SmartTrip cards) to the GMU campus, a ride 
> that takes about half an hour.

> Also, as many of you know, the Columbia Lighthouse for the Blind has 
> been a major supporter of MWABA since its inception last year, 
> including donating much of the goalball equipment that we still use at 
> practices. That's why I want to make sure lots of folks in the MWABA 
> community come out to support CLB in its annual Light the Way Walk for 
> Independence, which this year will be held on the National Mall. You 
> can sign up for the walk here:
