On another note, instead of building support in the community, have you guys actually tried explaining to the board meeting why FIRST is important to you? My suggestion is to get a few students - some seniors, some freshmen, and have them talk at the board meeting on how FIRST has changed their high-school expierience. Also try and actually get the robot there as a demonstration of what you have built using that room. If they actually SEE how much work you guys have done and if they actually HEAR first-hand how the club has changed students' expieriences, they might reconsider what is more important to them: sports, which is an after-school activity, or a way to constantly expand the educational expierience of the students beyond just the classroom.
