CHEASPEAKE REGIONAL KICK-OFF/Jan. 7, 2006
Capitol College, Laurel, MD
Jenny Beatty/FIRST Senior Mentor
Wed. January 25, 2006 is national "Thank Your Mentor Day."
This is a wonderful opportunity for teams to give their mentors special thanks and to publicize the work their mentors do.
Remember your technical mentors such as the engineers and machinists, and your non-engineering mentors, such as your teachers, parents, college students and other adults who help your team. Tell your community how important your mentors are to your team.
There were 45,000 mentors and volunteers involved in FIRST last year. We have a lot to be thankful for.
Some ideas:
* contact your local newspaper for a story about your mentors and your team
* contact your local TV station for a story about your mentors and your team
* PA announcements at your school.
* Send an e-card through
www.whomentoredyou.org
* have an open house
* write a thank you note
