Re: Jan. 25 is Thank Your Mentor Day

I think this is a great idea, and definitely keep us up to date with what we can do for FIRST mentors. I know personally, I have now been a mentor as both a college student, and now as the team lead... but I could never have the team we have today without all of our other mentors on the team. And when I see them and the students working together, I realize how great this program is, but also how much we need to make sure we take special care of those people. I personally gave holiday cards and little teddy bears out to all my mentors to say thanks for their help, but I think reminding everyone with a special day for the mentors is a great idea.

I see Steve W's point in that we dont need another "Halmark Holiday" to think of our mentors, but sometimes its nice to have a reminder. Plus its right in the middle of build season, so what better time to take an hour out and celebrate our mentors, and realize why we are doing this

Let us know what you come up with!
