Josh - Congratulations to you and Team 3138 for your outstanding rookie year!

Our team did a blitz of fund raising 2 weeks ago to allow them to travel to Atlanta. They raised enough money for the trip and also secured a few more (what looks to be) permanent sponsors.

There may come a time when we need financial support from our school, but I hope it isn't soon.

We are in the process of setting up our own non-profit organization, and you are right, it is a lot of work.

CalTran - right now we do not have anybody associated with the school that is a part of our team (except for the students). This is really the support I'm hoping to find. In order for us to grow, we need school administrators on our side.

We will be meeting with the school board in a couple weeks and I want to have as much "wow-able" info to take with me. We'll also be promoting FIRST with all of it's great qualities.

Thanks to everyone for their input, it's much appreciated.
