Hi All, They are making "VIP" badges for all the DAs for State 8-10 BB - there just may be some special perks if you have your badge on.(Lanyard and plastic card kind of badge) IF you are going to go to State in Othello. and you'd like the VIP treatment, please send a photo (can be a selfie) of yourself and the correct spelling of your name and they will have a badge and lanyard waiting for you at the Tournament Office --- not sure what all the special perks are but they want to treat the DAs special. Send the photo/name to: Valerie Hernandez vhernandez@othellowa.gov <mailto:vhernandez@othellowa.gov> Also, because of the "street party" in honor and for the benefit of the families and players of the 8-10 Tournament, there will be a schedule change coming for the day of the block party. They are going to move some of the evening games to the morning so that everyone can go to the party. Be on the lookout for that. Your schedule in the 8-10 packet is outdated. The block party will be at the same time. Hope to see you all there! Regards JP DA WA5/13
