Thanks Congressional Reception and White House Teams!
Even though I wasn’t there, I’d like to thank all of our teams who worked together to put on the demonstrations yesterday at the Congressional Reception and White House and represented all of us so exceedingly well. FRC 116, FRC 365, FRC 768, FVC 3053, FLL 1677, FLL 1911 and all of the additional teams that sent representatives, you are all wonderful ambassadors for the FIRST programs and impressed so many people, even people in my school district in PA. When they saw the emails and links and realized we were part of a program that puts teams in front of the president and congress, I wound up with a visit from an administrator that wanted to help us even more.

Organizing these demonstrations is a group effort. The fact that this event was pulled together in such a short time frame is an example of how the teams in FIRST really understand teamwork. The fact the FIRST knows no boundaries, either geographic or cultural, is certainly one of our strongest assets as we move toward a changed culture.

All of you, have made us proud. What you sacrificed, accomplished, and experienced collectively makes our community stronger and will allow all of our teams everywhere to gain a stronger hold in each of our communities.

With gratitude and respect,
Rich
