Hi all,
We (Team 1676, The Pascack Pi-oneers) have recently been thinking of
possibly reviving our old offseason event, Pascack Panda-monium, for after this upcoming season. For those of you unfamiliar with the event, you can find the thread about it
here, and a picture of the trophies given out can be found
here. Of course, we'll be sure to bring back the Pie-Eating Contest and Video Game Tournament as well, if enough interest is shown. It would again be held at Pascack Hills High School, 225 West Grand Avenue, Montvale, NJ.
Unlike last time, however, we were planning on doing it in the spring instead of in the fall, most likely either May 25th, 2013, or June 1st, 2013. The 25th of May is the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, and SATs are on June 1st. Of course, if BR^2 is held by Team 303 again, we will avoid conflicting with that date. Don't worry, both of these options avoid the date of Monty Madness, if that is held on the same relative weekend in May (May 18th).
Before we put in all the time, effort, dedication, work, and sleep deprivation needed to host an offseason event, we wanted to know what the nearby FIRST community thought of it. Would your team be interested in coming? Would you like to volunteer for the event (if so, for what position)? Which of the two suggested dates would work best for you, and why?
If possible, please fill out the survey above, to aid in our planning process.
We look forward to reading your responses, and are greatly hoping that this will all work out.
Sincerely,
Ryan Hall
2011-2013 Co-C.E.O.
