Re: Team in Danger!

as warren b. stated it is hard with multi schools with support and rules about having a teacher representing each school...so good luck with that.

funding...go to malls, outside of businesses to get the word out...especially go to small local businesses and just ask for like 10 bucks. it slowly adds up. candy sales work wonders it seems at my school just go to bjs or sams or costco and buy bulk.

a home...we had that problem forever in s.p.a.m. finally we have a solid home. we moved 3 times during build season one year. we went to a warehouse that had some empty space for rent.. try to make a deal...instead of paying rent that can be their way of funding the team. publix use to just provide subs, sodas and chips as their funding for S.P.A.M.
or if you have a willing parent to give up their garage that would be nice...

try for grants...always some around...talk to your teachers and staff at your school and show them how important this program is along with the school board and community..put out a news article in the local news and get on TV!! people love to help out if they realize it's how great FIRST is...some businesses just love you aren't asking to fund a sport or cheerleading.


BEST OF LUCK!!!
