i agree.. i know that we got our first sponsor with a phone call and a follow-up letter in the mail explaining more in detail. we would have given a presentation, but they agreed pretty quickly, and there isnt much for us to present.

you're obviously not a rookie team, so that puts you one up on all of us rookie teams in the sense that you can go and make a presentation and show your accomplishments from the previous years and the success and progress of your team.

good luck ...

I am also interested in operator/safety captain badges, pins, or any other handouts your team may have given out that you would be willing to mail to Canada.
