Everyone... 

I hope that this isn't too unexpected...

But this is my finale tournament. I am moving to a new state!

This is why I'm going all out for this.

So, if you can, please come!!

Hi everyone!

This is this Saturday, if you can make it!!

I wanted to put a blurb that if you would like to bring food, either for yourself or for everyone (if anyone would like to potluck), I recommend it. It's going to be a LONG day and I will only have pizza and chips at lunch. A potluck would be great, that way everyone can stay feeling full throughout the day.
