Midwest

The following fencers have said that they are planning on attending Midwest High School Championships at Culver, Indiana on January 23rd:
Alec, Claire, Emma J.R., Emma W., Harrison, Laura, Marie, Michaela, Peter, and Jonny

Here is the plan:

We will leave Friday the 22nd at either 5 or 7 pm and fly (yes fly - it turns out to be slightly cheaper or the same price for the small amount of fencers we have attending) to Chicago Midway airport. We will stay at a hotel by the airport that night. A bus (which will be paid for our of our transportation budget) will take us to Culver Saturday morning (118 miles). The first event starts at 10:00 so we won't have to get up too early, plus you can sleep on the bus. We will fence and then take a bus back to Chicago. There are flights out that night, but we're hoping you will fence well and then we would miss our flights, so we are flying out first thing Sunday morning.

Cost - The airfare at this time is around $213.80. - plus baggage fee for your fencing equipment.
You'd pay for your share of hotel. - There are 6 girls and 4 boys. We can squish in room of 3 and 4 or go in 2's, let me know what you want to do. I haven't chosen a hotel yet, but it should be around $100/night for 2 nights/room -
You'll also be responsible for your food.

I need your legal name to book your ticket, you will be billed by SPA for the ticket and hotel. Please respond as soon as possible.

Thanks!

PS - Someone please forward this to Harrison, he has neglected to give me his email address. - Thanks!
