Hello all...

This past week our teams lead teacher held a team meeting (team 1610 Franklin,Va.) to discuss the present and future status of our team.
One of the reasons for this meeting was an offer from the local community
college here.

Our local community college has offered to provide work space,a practice area and class room space and $35,000 towards the team.
The catch....they would like to see us merge with other area teams.
One other team is concidering this (team 616 from southampton co. Va.)

Some on that team want a merger,some not. Our team voted to merge.
In our area there are only so many resources available for both teams.
Some members of both teams know each other very well. We even have a mentor on our team that has been on both.

I'm guessing that if we do merge there will be an entirely new team and that all of us will be rookies again. There will be many,many details to work out.

What other teams have merged and how many schools were involved?
How has this worked out for the teams involved? We need your feedback.
