ROADMAP
We want to continue to improve on what we have, both the quality and content. We have to increase our advertising, still so many do not know about our work but if they do they would be surprised they never heard of us, this is based on previous feedback!
Due to funding/sponsorship challenges, we going to be moving things around to keep costs down. This unfortunately delays moving forward on other fronts.
