[Mr MOE]

Finger Lakes Regional Attending Teams:

Obviously, FIRST is all about recognition and inspiration. This
absolutely holds true for the FIRST Finger Lakes Regional event.
To further encourage each of us to create the world we would
love to live in, we introduce the FINGER LAKES REGIONAL
“PERSONAL RECOGNITION” BUTTON. This button will not be
distributed freely, but must be EARNED by an individual.

The way it works...

Each team participating in the Finger Lakes Regional (40
teams) will receive a packet containing 5 (five) “PERSONAL
RECOGNITION” buttons and a Personal Recognition Data Form
for each button. Each team should plan to award a button to
an individual at the event who should be recognized for
outstanding behavior in any of the following areas:

* Gracious Professionalism
* Helpfulness
* Spirit / Enthusiasm
* Xtreme Safety
* Bringing people together

Individuals could be members of another team, FIRST staff,
venue staff, the concierge at your hotel, or the driver of your
bus. Assessing individuals to recognize is going to be somewhat
subjective. However, the overriding factors are actions
"Deserving Special Recognition."

Not only will recognized individuals receive a limited edition button,
but the team awarding the button should also record the name,
team number or other affiliation, and reason for the recognition
on a Personal Recognition Data Form at the time of the award.
Each button you present should have an accompanying form.
The forms should be turned in at the Pit Administration Table by
noon on Saturday. Please complete this short form! Information
about recognized individuals from all forms returned will be posted
on the Finger Lakes Regional Official Web-site shortly after the
competition.

So put your Gracious Professional game-face on and do what you
always do at FIRST competitions, create an environment we all
wish we lived in everyday and please take the time to recognize
someone who deserves a Finger Lakes Regional “Personal
Recognition” Button!


Go Rochester Teams!
