I forgot to mention in my previous post, that 1810 did present at our board meeting a little over a month ago. It was a huge sucess! There was around 350 people at the meeting for another issue, but we started out the meeting.
Let me first say, we weren't asking for money, or facilites. We were just trying to raise awareness for our program. For example, our facilites are at our overpopulated school. If they need to take our build room away for a classroom, we beleive that it will be a harder decision, because they know we are there.
We got around 7 minutes on the agenda, and used all of it. Our parents created a presentation, and then selected team members to read off slides of the power point. We also had one of our major sponsors talk about the importance of our program.
