Jack in the Hat and I, along with Dana and Lynne Henry, had the pleasure of being part of the "Spirit of FIRST" program at Championships in St. Louis this year. You may have seen us in our red, white and blue FIRST tie-dyed polo shirts.

Our goal, on behalf of FIRST, was to welcome and thank every volunteer, coach and mentor that was present! Needless to say we didn't get to EVERYONE that was there, but we managed to greet many who arrived on Wednesday afternoon and get through all the pits (except for a few in FRC that we ran out of time to visit).

So if we didn't get to you, please accept our heartfelt thanks for all the work you do - FIRST cannot be the program that it is today without the awesome volunteers, coaches and mentors! T H A N K Y O U ! ! !
