Go, talk to your regional coordinators. They work very hard and are very good at what they do, but always could use help.

This is true- I graduated team 38 last year, and spent as much time as possible with the team this year. It does sadden me to see the lack of enthusiasm for the competition as in previous years among my taem, but I also look forward to, and volunteered for the UTC Regional, and will be volunteering for Nationals, with all possible excitement and enthusiasm as when I first started with FIRST in '99. Those who attended the UTC regional would recognize me as the field crew with the Umbrella hat on Saturday. As long as enthusiasm and excitement are kept alive within FIRST in general, regardless of team, then FIRST will continue to grow and more and more people will realize what it's all about.
