You can get one of these handy shoe racks by making a donation to the Junior Orienteering Team to help send them to JWOC in the Czech Republic this summer. We have the biggest group of juniors EVER wanting to compete internationally. Send them, inspire them. Show your support. You can help them and organize your orienteering shoes at the same time. Just go to: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/usa-to-junior-wo...

And, in case you need any inspiration, look at the bios posted today on the OUSA site. What a great group of kids. They're the future of Orienteeing in the USA. Please contribute if you can.

U.S. JWOC Team photos, interesting facts, and stories.

Those bios are great! I even learned some stuff about our local kids!

Cool online auction! I'm tempted by the shoe rack, that would be a big improvement over the cardboard box we currently use to hold shoes.

One suggestion - for the poster by Dave Yee, it would probably help if you mentioned how large a poster that is.

If only we had space for another shoe rack...

Another suggestion for the JWOC team page -- maybe just pick one or two interesting questions/responses for each kid? The current wall of text makes it unlikely that someone like me would read any of it.

We are delivering 2 shoe racks to the Billygoat tomorrow and will bring 2 additional ones so that people can see what they are. Is someone donates before then, they can take one home tomorrow, first come, first served.

I also loved the bios. By the time I was finished, about an hour later, I felt like I knew and liked each of these kids. I enjoyed reading it all, but I agree with Cristina, that most people might skip it all if it seems like an overwhelming amount of info to read.

Some great profiles of the Canadian teams have also been posted.
