Thanks for the moral support! The amount of effort required to do this is bigger than I could ever expend on my own. I’m fortunate enough to have an awesome support staff already working with me. The great thing is that we are fairly certain this will be “cost neutral,” i.e. we’ll be able to raise enough funds from sponsorships and vendors that it won’t cost anything.
I have two professional photographers that will be cataloging the event, or I did the last time I checked 
, so there should be some good pictures to share with the forum here after it’s over.
