It's just about time for my annual trip to Orlando for the Honda Campus All Star Challenge. This is a annual academic tournament held for the nation's historically black colleges and universities, and Honda flies 64 teams of 5 players plus their coach to the Hilton at the Walt Disney World resort. Many of the Universities' presidents also attend this event, as well as VIPs from Honda and the community.
The event is staffed by a group of about 60 volunteers from around the country who give up this week each year to come work this event. Although they're not paid, there are plenty of perks. The food and entertainment are first-class, and most of this group has been working this event for more than 15 years. It's the one time each year many of these people get to see their old friends.
Although it's a busy week for me, I'll try to make time to post daily while I'm there.
