VOLUNTEERS!
 

The FIRST VIMS (Volunteer Information Management System) is up and running, and I think most regionals have great volunteer opportunities available.

Recruit yourself, parents, teachers and others to volunteer for a nearby event - it gets them into the FIRST spirit and helps the planning committee to know early that the key positions will be filled. Experienced FIRST people help an event run smoother.

I am especially recruiting for the BOILERMAKER Regional - I am the Volunteer Coordinator and would love to see lots of familiar Chief Delphi faces wearing FIRST Volunteer shirts at Purdue.

Sign up now - there is an easy link from the FIRST Website.

PS - Maybe one of the moderators could even add a link to the FIRST volunteer page to this post - and make it 'sticky' - since I have no clue how to do either of those tasks.

I'm already in there for VCU and Annapolis. Havn't heard anything.

Sorry I can't help out at Purdue Chris, if I do travel to a regional it will be to Atlanta. The whole college student lacking money thing. :-/

Yes, this is an old thread, but it still applies.

The 2006 VIMS system should be up and running by the end of this week. If you are going to a regional or there's one nearby, all regionals will need your help!

There is not an active link yet, but it will apparently be under the section "For Volunteers" on the www.usfirst.org website.

Thanks,

VIMS will be up and running on November 4th. Be poised and ready to submit! Oh, and sign up to volunteer in Boston. I have plenty of floor space available in my apartment ;) .

Re: VOLUNTEERS!
 

Is VIMS up? I can't seem to find it

Re: VOLUNTEERS!
 

I heard from RoboMom and others that it's been delayed until "mid-November."

Re: VOLUNTEERS!
 

Seems like it is still not up. The link from https://my.usfirst.org/ still does not work.

Re: VOLUNTEERS!
 

Does anybody know when VIMS will be up? I check daily on the FIRST website to see if its up.

Re: VOLUNTEERS!
 

Then you will likely be the one to tell us.

Re: VOLUNTEERS!
 

There will be an Email blast when it's up - and you can bet it will be posted. Soon grasshoppers.... soon.... (we hope)...


Edit: I just noticed there's a VIMs site now

VIMS is up and running!

Re: VOLUNTEERS!
 

I went to delete my secondary address (last years dorm room) and it is now hung up and won't let me leave them blank. It shows my contact info as incomplete. Bother.

Re: VOLUNTEERS!
 

When will FIRST contact us to volunteer? Has anyone yet been contacted.

Re: VOLUNTEERS!
 

You should be contacted by interested Volunteer coordinators in the coming weeks to confirm any positions you are being looked at for. I would suggest you to contact the regional volunteer coordinator(s) if you have questions or would like to follow up on a volunteer request that you submitted.
