If you are up for another month of this fun challenge check in here. If you team is doing it with no changes then your captain can check in for the team. However, if you are looking for a new team then jump on the board and we will try to get it all settled. Please bump the thread to keep it on top also.

We are looking for 1 person to finish off our last team. Anyone else want to join a team?0
-
With being on bedrest I have limited access to the computer. I need every team to be done with logging information for November in 2 hours. That means by 11:00 EST I will cut off any additional information for the month. At that time I will quickly review the totals and post them. Thank you to all the captains for working hard this month and helping to support your team. So far I have seen some great amounts lost...who will be the biggest loser of the challenge?
WE ARE STILL NEEDING ONE SPOT FILLED FOR THE DECEMBER CHALLENGE. If you are looking for a team please contact me ASAP.0
