          This is our big week of the season.  Time for PAL to shine, as we host the Mason Dixon Division B Qualifier at North High this Sunday. It is a big responsibility to host one of our league tournaments and we want to do a good job for the kids, so we will need lots of help over the next couple of days.  Mike Brull has done a great job getting things in place for this weekend as far as fundraising, sponsorships, setting up vendors, and developing a program.  I would also like to recognize the work that Stacey Myers and Lori Ashby have contributed as well. We are very grateful for their help.   Now its time to start working on the actual running of the tournament, and we will need everyone to pitch in.
