It is time to start contacting your local schools to see if you can sponsor your local team. For more information about the program, go to http://www.academicbowl.org. Sponsorship costs the lodge $150, but if your lodge can only do a partial scholarship, that is ok as well, just contact the committee.

But sponsorship goes beyond money. You see, the continues support from masons across the State of Illinois at these events may not seem like much, but physical presence matters just as much as financial support, so plan to attend sectionals on February 22, and finals on March 8.
