Dan:

Thanks for writing. I like your club's website. I'll definitely
have a bunch of questions about that. I'm waiting to hear back from
the Berlin Citizen Newspaper. I emailed the editor about doing a
story on this topic and the team I want to form. I planned on
putting an ad in the paper but thought a story in the local paper
might generate more publicity.

How long did it take you to get the ball rolling on forming the
Westfield team? Was it a long process?

Tony
