Notes for 2016 season
The pre build season chairman's schedule definitely needs to be in consideration for the schedule for the 2015-2016 season CocoNuts Guide starting on pg. 18 looks like it would mean starting right after GRITS and going up to winter break and meeting a couple times a week watch some of these videos especially for the Chairman's project that you are working on: Winner Submissions

Everyone NEEDS to watch this yes it is long but it is really good and bring up a lot of excellent points: 1114 chairman's guide
