Earn Your MOE 365 Personal Recognition Button in Atlanta!
 

Championship Attendees:

Obviously, FIRST is all about recognition and inspiration. This absolutely holds true for the FIRST Championship event. To further encourage each of us to create the world we would love to live in, MOE 365 is initiating a special, limited edition, PERSONAL RECOGNITION button. This button will not be distributed freely (like our dozen or so other buttons), but must be EARNED by an individual.

The way it works...

Each MOE team member attending the Championship (about 60 students and mentors) will have only 3 (three) PERSONAL RECOGNITION buttons. Each button holder will be instructed to award a button for what they believe to be the best examples deserving recognition in the following areas:

* Gracious Professionalism
* Helpfulness
* Spirit / Enthusiasm
* Xtreme Safety
* Bringing people together

These areas and how our team members assess people against them is going to be somewhat subjective. However, the overriding factor is actions "Deserving Special Recognition."

Not only will recognized individuals receive one of our limited edition buttons (~180 in all), but the MOE team member awarding the button will record the name, team number, and reason for the recognition at the time of the award. We plan on posting all recognition awardees (or at least as many as we obtain information for) on our website shortly after the Championship.

So put your Gracious Professional game-face on and do what you always do at FIRST competitions, create an environment we all wish we lived in everyday!

..and look out for those glowing green jerseys. They might end up pinning a button on you!

See y'all in Atlanta. Safe travels everyone! :)

P.S. The button graphics will be posted soon.

;) You should give one to our drive team for losing to you guys at Philly;) Gracious Professionalism was really tested after the DQ call. Oh well grin and bear it, were going to Nat's

Spikey:

If we had Personal Recognition buttons at Philly, we might have done just what you suggest.

I recommend that we look forward to all the fun and excitement awaiting us at the Championship Event and not backward. Let's all make this event one we can recollect with only positive memories.

See you guys in the Dome!

You mean there are other colors besides GREEN? Why in the world would you need more colors?

Why just settle for "Nationals" when you can attend

There is also RED which you will see if you attend Mr. Moe's and my presentation on Multiple High School Teams at the conference! It may be harsh on the eyes, but we WILL keep your attention that way! :)

Referring to the MOE Personal Recognition buttons and being reminded of the classic Monty Python SPAM sketch, I can only answer...

"Well, there's not much green on it."

:D :D :D

Well I've seen TJ^2 in action and personally handed you guys a MOE Team Spirit Award (The First Automated Clapping MOE Sticks awarded) at NJ in 2004.

Pin Man, if you, your mentor Moe (who has a great name :D ) and the rest of TJ^2 bring your "A Spirit Game" and help make Galileo the most spirited division at Championships; you should have no problem earning one ;) .
