Dear Texas Speech and Debate Family,

Wanted to let you all know that the official wording for debate
resolutions has been released and posted to the website.

Team Policy Debate: Resolved: That the United States Federal Government
should significantly change its policy toward India.

Lincoln Douglas Debate:Resolved: When in conflict, idealism ought to be
valued above pragmatism.

The 2008-2009 NCFCA Affiliate forms should be posted to the website next
week.   You might want to take advantage of that early bird registration
discount!!

Also, if you have a local speech and/or debate group, I would love to hear
about it :o)  Doesn't matter if your group is open or closed, competes or
not, I'd love to connect.  As the NCFCA representative, I receive inquiries
about communication opportunities for private schools and home
school students across the state.  I'd love to know what is working for you
locally, so we can share every option with others.  If you have a co-op,
closed group, or a club that competes in NCFCA, I'd love the opportunity to
hear more about it.  I'm happy to maintain your privacy; however, others
might want to organize a similar group....so tell me what's working for your
club!!

Since I posted camp information, we have had two new opportunities for LD.
I did want to make sure you were all aware... One in Texas, August 13-16 -
www.citedebatecamp.com  and one in Arkansas, August 14-15
