Between Hertyl and Spertyl, in the centre top, are the words "Toddlin' Tortoises support and uplift".

I requested to join this team for the upcoming source-a-thon. I started getting nervous because I haven't received a response, so I added myself to the members list. I didn't see one for the source-a-thon so added to the connect-a-thon list. I hope this is okay. I participated with Team Tennessee for the last few years but they are no longer. I live in Utah I thought this team would fit. If this team is not participating in the source a thon please let me know so I have time to join another. Thanks.
