Re: [NE FIRST] Connecticut Shoreline District (Groton)

I just coached our school-rep mentor through the VIMS. She selected two days of low-tech positions as part of the team's (all teams) obligation to provide volunteer support for the district events. She selected four likely choices and got the canned reply from the system. I expect her eventual assignment will be made once all folks have dialed in their volunteering offers.

It is beginning to look like the regional obligation requirements may not supply enough manpower for the tasks. There evidently should also be a deadline for getting the VIMS updated with information so the various tournament directors and vol.coordinators will have enough time to panic that their event isn't staffed yet.

I'm not sure about how intense the regional events will be for our team. This means I don't want to commit to a volunteer position before getting some exposure to the context. That is, I don't want to let either the team or the event suffer because I've bitten off more than I can chew. It does make me think that perhaps I should consider your suggestion for the Southington event, even though it doesn't help Groton. Maybe the other mentors for that event should and will consider helping at Groton. Getting late though. How's the Maalox supply holding up?
