if a parental waiver for kids within a certain age range is OK with George, I think we might have a way in for middleschool-highschool students who are really the key audience for hands on tech.  i'd be glad to talk to George and try to work out a framework for future events if we get the green light on this one.  It could be something like, kids under X age must be accompanied by their legal guardian, and kids between ages of X and Y must have a minimum of 2 chaperones plus 1 for every 10 kids.

vicky - have you checked on this?  it would be great if we can move forward.

 a teacher at Oakland Tech High, not far from you. I've organized a team
 of students who are all taking part in the CyberPatriot info sec
competition. They're training really hard--and learning a lot--so that
they can enter the competition. We've run into a stumbling block,
though--the competition windows for reach round are always on a weekend,
 and the school district has informed me that I can't use the school on
the weekend without paying.

They're really excited about this, but I'm afraid we might not have a
place to meet and compete if I can't find a space we can afford.
