The TTT 2016 Team Challenge is right around the corner!  Steve Pearson and Zac
Majors are coming to teach, lead teams and showcase the Wills Wing line of wing
with the first ever TC Demo Days.  We are ecstatic here at the TTT!

Team Challenge is scheduled to start
Sunday April 17th and wrap with a super fun awards party Saturday
April 23rd. We have had a several year run of good flying this time of
year, and with Steve's generous offer of a spring demo days here, we moved the
meet!  Our highly regarded team teaching format will continue.  We will have a
mix or hang gliding and paragliding teams.  As always, the emphasis is on
safety, fun, education and XC tasks that are scaled to pilot skill level.

However, that brings to question whether we will even be flying if the USHPA
can't fully fund the RRG by then.  The current liability insurance we rely on to
protect our club and the sport is set to expire on
2/29/16!  I know USHPA has been working wonders to pull this off in time,
but the newly seated BOD wants to help all we can to ensure the goal is met in
plenty of time for TC.

As many know, we raise club funds through membership fees and registration fees
for Team Challenge. This year, TTT is going to support the RRG by accepting new,
after today, donations to the RRG of amounts of $175 or more in lieu of
registration fees!  This will help USHPA fund the liability self insurance
efforts in time for TC.

Here's how that works: A maximum of 60 slots are available to be reserved in
Team Challenge 2016. Any TTT Member who donates at least $175 to the RRG fund
between January 9 and the ‪March
1 deadline will have their $175 comp fee waived. If the event fills up, that
could represent an additional $10,500 in RRG funding. Even if no one else
registered for Team Challenge between now and March
1, that would still represent $4,375 in funding from the 25 pilots already
registered.

This also means that any current TTT member can, during this period firmly
guarantee their Team Challenge slot by just "checking a box." Bring proof of
your qualifying donation to the event (or just email it to ‪<tc16>)
in order to sign in for free.

Help TTT and USHPA ensure our wonderful sport continues to survive and thrive!
