Hey Everyone :D

No matter how you're involved with FIRST, wear your shirt at some point on Wednesday, September 14th, so we can take the world by storm. FIRST logos should be everywhere... I want to see multiple numbers strolling around streets and stores, and high-fiving each other when they see each other :). Let's make it so that people who aren't involved with FIRST ask questions after seeing the logo and name all day. Spread the word! Invite everyone you know from FIRST! This is in September in the middle of the week because everyone's back in school to show off their colors! Have work? Wear it before/after! Or just wear it to bed to still get in the spirit of it.

If you have Facebook, you can get the details, sign up as "Attending", and help a lot by spreading the word to get even more people to join in! Here's the link: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=206714226032784

INVITE EVERYONE YOU KNOW IN FIRST! FRC, FTC, FLL, Jr. FLL, volunteers, staff, sponsors who might have a shirt, everyone! Share this on all your social media sites and let's get this thing going!

It is now occurring to me, why is this not on a Friday so those who work with dress codes could wear a FIRST related thing on their casual Friday?

That occurred to me after I realized that there is such thing as casual Friday at an internship this summer... next year!!

Just an update - organically (mostly word of mouth/taking it easy and not posting a whole lot past the first week this year) we're about 500 away from 5000 attendees on Facebook. That's pretty STELLAR! :) so anyways, based on this year I'm looking for ideas for future years. Here's what I have so far, please let me know absolutely any recommendations having to do with any of this!

-Should be on a Friday (casual Fridays at Work, etc.)

-More online exposure about this (more continuous push, this year there was a lot of hype the first week and then no follow through... for future years we'll implement ideas like having the open Flickr gallery where people can post to and set up hashtags for people to post more photos, etc. to Twitter)

-Recommend to FIRST to make buying apparel easier on their site/have more options for people (mostly for supporters not associated with teams)

Thanks!
