Even after the free tickets are announced, we will still need people encouraging others to mentor until we get to about 55 mentors signed up.

43 mentors have signed up as of July 4.

Remember to mention sponsors in emails and such when recruiting mentors.

Need more detail about this task: what do we need to say about sponsors?
