 * To help make this a successful experiance for our debaters we will need at least our people beside Mr. Sutton and myself to help with judging the debates
 * Any inexperieneced judges can help with our Public Forum debate as this looks for non-debaters to judge the competition
 * We will also need at least one person to help plan food to bring for lunch (We can all do lunch on our own if that is the will of the team)
 * We will need to know for sure who can go to this debate (must be an approved excusal if you cannot) by the 11/8 (Monday) so i can register our team and organize judging for the TDL
 * Mr. Sutton will need help pulling off this TDL at our school (Any LSA students who help run the event will recieve Community Service hours for their assistance)
 * This is our last debate before districts and regionals and we hope to show the rest of the Tidewater Area what they can look foward to the following month :)
