Project Alpha has scrubbed for the summer. Due to lack of funding and time/weather restrictions. This is a decision that has been weighing on us heavily for quite some time, and it was hard to realize. We will pick up the project in 2000, hoping for a summer launch then. For more info, or to donate funds, please e-mail The Webmaster.
