Good Afternoon Teams,

It happens this way every year. There’s a big push by teams to get registered for events and signed up for kickoffs before the deadline, then it seems teams take a breather. What’s happening here at HQ is completely different. By the time teams could sign up for events and kickoffs we were done with the big push to schedule events and recruit volunteers.
Maybe the experience is different in this area but I know a lot of teams who are feverishly working now. They are hosting FLL qualifiers. They are helping with FTC tournaments. They are helping with VRC tournaments. They are helping with planning for the local regional(s). They are fundraising. They are debriefing from and planning more workshops. They are helping the rookies.

And although it sounds like they are all set for volunteers on a HQ level, we are still recruiting like crazy here.
