This e-mail went out to all team main contacts, but posting it here doesn't hurt anyone. Only applies to teams attending the WI Regional.
Thanks!
Greetings Wisconsin Regional Teams!
The Wisconsin Regional Planning Committee hopes that all FRC teams are enjoying a great start to 2008 and having great success during the always frantic build season.
We have some important items for your team’s main contact to take care of to help us ensure that we provide you the greatest FRC Regional experience that we can.
#1 – We are still looking for volunteers for the event, especially in the areas of robot inspection and crowd control. If you have experienced team members, parents, or mentors that could volunteer for the event and help us out, please have them register in FIRST’s Volunteer System (VIMS) as soon as possible. Information on registering can be found here:

#2 – As in previous years, we will again be hosting many area VIPs at the event to either introduce them to or get them re-acquainted with FIRST and how they can be of assistance to us. We need 2 student volunteers per team to act as VIP Tour guides on Friday of the event from approximately 10a-12p. These students will be charged with taking VIPs around the event and talking to them about FIRST, how it works and what it means to them. Please send the names of the students that will act as VIP tour guides ASAP to
ricky.quinones@gmail.com There will be a brief walkthrough with these students Thursday morning at the event.
#3 – We are very excited to announce that the Wisconsin Regional will once again host an exciting team social, this year at Milwaukee’s Discovery World (http://www.discoveryworld.org/). In order for this event to run smoothly and successfully, we need an accurate count of how many people from your team will be attending the team social, which is free to all teams (students and mentors ONLY). It is truly important that we get an accurate count to ensure enough food for 63 teams and to
allow us to schedule dinner shifts appropriately. Please email the number of students and mentors that will be attending to info@wisconsinregional.com by 2/29/08.
Seating for dinnershifts
at Discovery World will be assigned as responses come in.
The Wisconsin Regional Planning Committee appreciates your help with these items and is looking forward to seeing you in March!
