By the way / FYI ...
If you like this story and in case you missed it the first time around. There is a collection of stories out there you can use for team purposes (recruitment, sponsorship, mentors, helping to start new teams, etc).

Some of them are as good as the story attached here. We are also
encouraging teams to collect more stories like this for similar purposes in their regions. If this made you fell FIRST is special, imagine what it can do for recruitment, gaining a sponsor, getting a school district on board.
Couple these stories with the wonderful data and facts available at the FIRST Resourse Center at
www.usfirst.org and you have an awesome package that really explains what FIRST is about.
