Calling all FIRST alumni that go to Virginia Tech or are located in the area of Virginia Tech:

I am starting a FIRST alumni association in direct partnership with Pattie Cook (VirginiaFIRST) with the help from Alex E. from team 1311. We are having a meet and greet in Randolph Hall room 209 on Friday 21 Oct 2011 at 4PM. There will be pizza provided.

The idea behind this is to create a better and closer knit FIRST community at VT. This organization will serve as a way for everyone to stay connected, get help with studies, find out about local FIRST events, and much more.

Hopefully people can attend, and because of relatively late notice we are asking that anyone who knows anyone in the area of VT, please contact them to inform them of the event.

There is a local team, FRC401, that relies heavily on VT students as mentors. I have also recently received news that a rookie team is being started in the Roanoke area as is looking for mentors as well.

So, if you or someone know is in the area of Blacksburg on Friday, 21 Oct 2011 at 4PM please stop by Randolph Hall room 209 to help build and grow the FIRST community at VT.

Thanks,
Tim Miedzinski
