Can you believe it? We didn't loose anyone. More Photos here.

I would have taken more pictures, but people don't like their pictures taken while on a 27 hour ride.

A few of you (Jong, Evelyn, Cole, Nicole R.) are missing waivers. You may have already filled one of these out in the past but I didn't find it on file. We also have a Code of Conduct thing (that was in your IRECA packet if you were at the Banquet). These MUST be done in order to go. I am placing them here in PDF and Word's DOC formats.
