Re: Thank You For A Very Special 2012 Championship Experience

I had the opportunity to play a few different roles this year as a volunteer. One of my roles was to bring people up to speed who don't know anything about FIRST or about the event. Because of this I was on the move a lot all over the event - pits, Dome, special guest area, volunteer area.

The number of volunteers supporting the Championship is mind boggling. There was one volunteer lunch (and if you volunteer you get fed pretty well) that filled a huge room. The enthusiasm and knowledge base in that room was astounding.

I have so many stories, but one of my favorite memories was RoboProm. The energy level at that event was so much fun to watch!

The opportunity to be part of this celebration is so special. Lots of cool technology and sweat equity involved in the competitions, but it is the people - the students, mentors, and event volunteers who make this event the amazing celebration it is. Cherish the memories.
