USAFL Members - we need your help at this event - ranging from assistance with the College Tournament to manning the USAFL Booth.  With Atlanta being 3 hours up the road - we would like to hand out around 2000 flyers over the course of the weekend promoting the upcoming Nationals - which will include promoting the Aussie Fest to be held in conjunction with the event. This will be a great opportunity for us to continue promoting our great game!

Anyone interested in helping out should contact Denis Ryan, usfootykids@usfooty.com or Peter Beare director@australianfestival.org for further details!
