Today Dean K was at the event. I didn't hear him speak, but I think a mention of this bill would have been a nice addition to whatever he said (I'm assuming he was a speaker).

Or some other method could be used to get the word out at the events...

A Direct message has been sent. They are busy. I hope they get to it tomorrow. This is not a slight against 1885. They asked us for info. Thank you JesseK. We have contacted VirginiaFIRST. They have not officially sent the info out to the rest of Virginia. I'm not sure what else we can do. Maybe they think they would be giving a team preferential treatment? I don't know. Personally, I think this bill could help a lot of FIRST teams. I'm VERY disappointed they haven't come on board.
