We will be organizing a group long jump this month. Our initial meeting and Q&A will be this Saturday, 1/28/2012 at 11am. We will be looking at weather patturns the rest of the month to pick the best day but are looking at the weekends of Feb 18-19 and 25-26 as possibilities. We are also looking for a small sponsor if anyone would like it to be called the 2012 whatchamacallit long jump. Talk to me if you are interested, there are tons of opportunities there.
