One of the things you have to face here at NAMA is being confronted by a college student who wants you to buy an ABEF auction ticket. At least you have a possibility of winning a Dell 37″ High Def LCD TV.

I got pitched by Wendy Slusher, Virginia Tech. She’s in the group picture here.

Wendy is very jazzed about NAMA.
