This note is going out to all teams in Michigan, and especially the teams is southeast Michigan.
This message has good news and bad news...
The good news--FIRST has been invited to put up a display in the new Science and Technology area of the Mighigan State Fair.
The bad news--The fair starts next Wednesday.
Here is what I need from Michigan Teams. If your team would be willing to place their 2007 FRC robot in a static display for the fair, August 22 to September 3, I need to know that immediately.
Also, we are trying to staff the area with two or three people at any time for the fair. We are looking for a four hour committment. I am trying to get fair passes for people that will help us. If you, and some of your team members, are willing to take a four hour turn, talking with the public about FRC and FLL, please let me know that. Maybe your team would like to committ to an entire day.
Please send me an email if you can help. And please do it quickly so we can make plans. Again, I am sorry for the short notice, but working under pressure is old hat to a FRC team, right?
My email address is:

Please pass this on to other Michigan teams. We want to let the people know about FIRST and FIRST's great programs. Many hundreds of thousands will attend the Michigan State Fair, billed as the oldest continuious fair in the US.
Thanks,
