We need to meet before this to practice and begin collecting cans!!!! Let me know if you can!!
Since the event is on Thursday, perhaps everyone interested can meed on Tuesday to practice. Even if we can only get a few people to practice, at least we can get some ideas rolling. We won't have much time on the day of to do much more than construct.
