Group Communication	We are putting togther a list of cell phone numbers of everyone going, and will distribute that via email and this site as soon as possible. Also, many leaders and parents are bringing FRS/GPRS radios (walkie-talkies) for use throughout the weekend. Tune your radio to Channel 7, Sub-channel 7.
Sample Plan of the Day	While aboard the Yorktown, we will be given a 'Plan of the Day' (that's navy-speak for 'schedule'...) that will lay out rules and when/where we are supposed to be. All leaders should be familiar with the POD. Denise found a couple of sample POD's, look them over. Remember, these are *not* the official POD's for our trip. We'll get ours when we board.
