For all rookie teams NOT going to Atlanta:
1) We're hosting the all-rookie meet & greet on Thursday at 11:30 on the West Plaza between the dome and the Congress Center (the pits). If you're not coming to Atlanta, please send me an e-mail at work (douglas.hitchcock@harris.com) or via this chiefdelphi address and we'll see that your team gets the same information packets we'll be handing out to all rookie teams in Atlanta.
2) As part of this event in Atlanta, we'll be doing a paperback book collection drive to support the troops overseas. We're asking everybody to bring a good "mystery" used paperback and a buck (for shipping). In the future, your team in your home town can do the same thing. Just visit
www.operationpaperback.org and you can be one of their volunteers also.
3) If there's something specific that you want from Atlanta, shoot me an e-mail. I'll be taking lots of pictures, etc so if there's a certain photo you need that won't be on the NASA broadcast, etc let me know and I'll add it to my laundry list. We upload all our team photos to rollingthunder.smugmug.com
ps: I'm not trying to EXCLUDE non-rookie teams, but the rookies are near and dear to my heart. Don't take it the wrong way...y'all.
