Re: Inspirational teams

The teams which have inspired 3946 the most are teams we have had live contact with. 16, 1114, 3339 (St Louis 2016) and 118, 233, 1477, 2587, and 3937 (Bayou, and in some cases, St. Louis 2016) all came quickly to mind.

While I certainly see many benefits to moving to districts, losing the benefit of all those great teams (including many I did not mention) roaming the country/world inspiring teams in regions with lower mentor and sponsor availability makes me wonder whether it's going to be worth it in the long run. While there are a few others who may yet come back, I believe we will only have two student members of our 2018 team who are veterans of our trip to St. Louis in 2016, so finding inspiration locally is essential.
