Hey Everyone,

    We recieved our t-shirts and information today. We have been working on getting our project in action. I have talked to a couple of people who i think could help us. I have talked to Thomas Lyden who works for ODOT and is in charge of the High Ways. I have also talked to Nancy Burton who is the General Information Manager. Well we hope to put our plan into action soon. We'll keep you updated!
