Trips to Nashville TN -- and regional-rated gold points -- are featured in the 2007 District 8 finals of this national team event. Any team of four, five or six District 8 members can enter in one of four separate flights:
Championship: Open
Flight A: 0-5000 masterpoints
Flight B: 0-2000
Flight C: 0-500 (non-LMs)
The winning team in each flight will receive a travel award from the District Board to play in the national finals in Nashville TN in July.
Your flight eligibility is determined by the number of masterpoints you held on September 1, 2006.
Directions: The site is the Illinois Education Association (IEA) Professional Development Center at 3440 Liberty Drive. From I-55, take I-72 West, then take the first exit (Route 4/Veteran's Parkway north). At the first stoplight, turn left into the Walmart/Walgreen's complex (Lindbergh Blvd.).
