That is an awesome offer! I wish that I could take you up on it. I was blessed with the opportunity to visit your lovely state for the first time this year, and I must say that I was impressed. Though, I only got to see the central and northern portions. A good friend of mine from High School lives in Alexander City, and we discussed your liberal season length and limits. I am definitely planning on making another trip down there to participate, it just won't be this year.
I really hope that this works out well for you and whoever takes you up on it! As for making life-long friends out of the deal...I have no doubt that that WILL HAPPEN!
