I can't say we've had famous or distinguished visitors in the past.
However, I hope to say different at 2003.
Cuz of our publicity Senator Bowen visited our facility. She drew additional visitors - school superintendents, principal, school board members.
In addition part of how we interact with sponsors, little or big, is to be sure they know when activities are, and that we'll save seats and share snacks at regional.
So far it SOUNDS like our school superintendents are coming to the LA Regional, AND the alumni club (remember our school was built in 1905) are planning to come.
Our work meetings are open house to the public 3xs a week - a '47 alumni came to check us out. We get regular visits to our open house, and expect the public will come to the competition if they know about it.
I don't know if the senator will be at the regional, but we have a very cool community calendar that is deceptively easy to use once you get the hang of it. I've applied for our own community calendar that can be incorporated into our web. Then any other orgs - school, city...can have our calendar merge with theirs if they choose. Or a "reader" can have our calendar incorporated in their view of a variety of org calendars. I haven't heard back about our calendar yet. But we've gotten our open house, SCRRF meeting, SCRRF robotics workshop, and the regional listed on local paper, school, and city community calendars. So we expect lots more people attending the regional.
