considering we are hurting for kids right now there is not really any requirement to join the team...except next year the middle school are coming up and joing so we wont be next year...hopefully in the near future there will be enough kids that want to join that there has to be an applcation process...not now though...lets just get kids period first, then work on how big or small we want the team

to go to the trips you have to be consistent at the meetings, showing up just isnt enough...you have to contribute a little bit...te saturday work sessions are the most important...we need kids to step-up to the plate...and you have to pay your way...you have to participate in the fundraising efforts and be a positive influence to others...u have to be flexible and respectful...so theres not one thing that has to be done...it is a culmination of many things...

i would love to here from teams like the wildstangs and MOE that prolly have no problem recruiting people...MOE has like 600,000 kids....how do u manage this many people? How do you recruit snough adult support to manage the kids when you go to events like nats...because i know my team in the past has had problems getting teacher support...the same 2 teachers for the past three years and no1 that is willing to step....they offer support and that is a help but we need teachers that can be there for the afterschool meetings more that Mr D and Ms. Hale(dont get me wrong they are gret people and the program needs them we just need more teacher support)...the engineers in the community have caught on and we have picked up a lot of support from them bu when they have a full-time job to do to support a family its kinda hard to make a 3 or even 5 o'clock meeting...sorry for the incoherent(sp) rambling
