Re: How do I get more recruits for next year?
We are trying something new next year. I have Lego kids that started in 4th grade and they are now in 6th. I had promised them if they stayed with Legos until 8th grade we would allow them on the team in 8th grade. We have since revised that...very few kids actually make it to Legos in 8th grade. We are going to invite those kids and a few others to be "Jr members" of our team next year. They will be hand picked by us and the other middle schools and invited to participate. (My Lego kids will be 7th graders and the ones from the other middle schools will be 8th graders.) As a Jr. member they will participate when they can and go to our local regional (Palmetto). After a year they will become regular members.

If fund raising goes really really well we may let them travel with us to our 2nd regional.

Basically, we are recruiting for way in the future success. These kids have been going to the Palmetto Regional since they were in 4th grade and are hooked. I always bring my Lego kids to Palmetto and most can't wait to get on the team...but we have to wait a while for them!!
