I've just put teams that have named any amount of interest under the top list(even if it's just one member so far). Make sure you mention it to your team though. I'm putting together a section of our website and a forum for the RAMPAGE events; I'll post here when they're up.
Actually, I've been working with Patty and Dee all summer
They know me by name now(as if they didn't before...
). We are talking with them, but we want to try and do most of it ourselves so we get the experience. Also, we have 2 contacts at the VA Science Museum, one of which is a Judge at the VCU Regional, the other works strongly with FLL. I think it's fairly safe to say that with the contacts we have, they know who we are, and where we're coming from, so that won't be a big issue.
Our main problem right now is the field. We're still trying to come up with an inventory list/price list. I need some feedback on this or we might end up spending too much money...
As for gathering money, I'm not sure if we'll end up paying for anything other than our own practice field. I'm pretty sure that if Science Museum gave us their space, they'd do it for free (as a donation, of course
)
And we have all the other equipment we need.
