I had to wait until the Harris County - Houston Sports Authority gave me a green light to pass this along (which came in this morning's email).
The Harris County-Houston Sports Authority is currently negotiating with the USFA via PSA for a North American Cup, to be held at either the George R. Brown Convention Center or Reliant Park. My understanding is that, from PSA's side, they would mostly be interested in that being (should all go well) the NAC for this coming December.
Cross your fingers, this is by no means a done deal... and start sounding out club your club members to see who, if they are not fencing, would be willing to volunteer, a lot.

I may have lines on volunteers through Bellaire High School and the JROTC program. Dallas has given us HS Baseball teams in the past to help set up strips, and they worked out VERY well. This might be able to be counted as community service for them. Do we know the proposed dates for the NAC? Those are going to be important.

I want to think I read somewhere that December 7-10 had been slotted for the December NAC. OTOH, I can't find the page I saw it on, so don't hold me to this.

I am crossing my fingers. If I can be of any help, let me know. I *might* be able to round up some kids to help set up and run it... *might* Keep me posted.

Depending on where that falls on the US calender, I might be able to get FCUH out there. That's pretty close to finals time.
Do you know what kind of NAC they are trying to get? (Say DIV I)

Traditionally, the December NAC has been Div 1/2/Vet/Wheelchair. But don't hold me to that. I know that HISD goes on holiday the week of Christmas, maybe the Friday before.

Getting a Div I NAC in Houston would be pretty cool, I guess. The one a half-dozen years ago was pretty cool.
I have to ask, though, what took you guys so long?
