I liked to thank some of the behind the scene folks that made this event s special.

2584 Reseda Regents Robotics. They haven't competed for a few years, but hey are still around helping. Every time we needed a volunteer, they would be ready to help. They manned the practice field for all three days.

585 Cyber Penguins from Tehachapi. They also provided a ton of volunteers. Each time I thought I was going to have trouble filling a position, someone from 585 would volunteer.

SMaRT Education. Liberty, Chris, Richard, Maria, Mikie, Calista... You guys run FIRST events like no other. Whether on the planning committee or as the FLL showcase team, you guys rock!

Steve Stark, thank you for your experienced guidance and being in the right place to handle those things that made the event run like we knew what we were doing. We learned a lot from your experience.

The group of core volunteers that made the event run on time. Jared, Cameron, Nick, David, Cynthia as FTA, scorekeeper, field supervisor, lead robot inspector, and pit admin. thank you!

And of course you always need family there to help. Cindy and Fred Stong are the best Judge Adviser and Head ref any event could ask for. They handled a crew of refs and judges, many of whom were introduced to FIRST at this event.

Shawna and the crew from Show Ready were the behind the scenes force that made sure we were always in the right spot at the right time. How can you run an event without the crew from Show Ready.

Wendy and Ann Marie kept our volunteers welcomed and fed in the volunteer room. What a great pair to start with each morning.

A huge thank you to Carol Dixon from CSUSB and her staff that worked with us for so long to get us into the Coussoulis arena! What a beautiful facility.

And then there are the folks that are the face of the event, Blair, Stephanie, George and David. Our MCs and Game Announcers.

And finally to Jim Beck for believing in us and bringing such a wonderful went to the Inland Empire.

Let's do this again next year... Or maybe an off season event? Dona, are we doing anything this summer?
