Contract was signed and returned to BPS.

Travel Update—have booked rooms in Rapid City, Moorhead and Grand Forks. Difficulty finding rooms for West Fargo tourney as Bieber concert in Fargo that weekend.

Received information that Minot wants to have tourney and are looking at either June 18,19 or July 9,10. Wondering what works for us. We let them know that we would come for June 18,19. This will eliminate our hotel problem in West Fargo as well.
