Thanks Tim. This is a big deal. Everyone reading this should consider
supporting this initiative. If there was ever a "hope for the future"
project to get behind, well, this is the one. The YOTA team will
benefit from as broad a base of support as possible. Don't let everyone
else do the heavy lifting on this one. Show your support for YOTA 2020
Camp ASAP!
Their budget is scaled to where the more support they can gather, the
more youngsters can attend the camp. Simple, really. Read about all
that on their web site.
