FIRST Senior Mentor in NJ

[GeorgeTheEng]

I think a number of people here will be interested in this. I recieved this last night from Randy Schaeffer, the NJ regional director. Congratulations to Paul.

We are very fortunate to have had Paul Kloberg selected as the FIRST Senior Mentor working with us in the recruitment of FRC and FLL mentors and volunteers under the recently announced FIRST senior mentor program.

Paul, as a member of our New Jersey FIRST Planning Committee has repeatedly demonstrated his dedication and ability to stimulate the creation of new FIRST teams and to promote the growth of FIRST across NJ. We are very fortunate to have him able to work with us in this expanded capacity.

Thanks also to go Wayne Cokelely who took the initiative to nominate Paul for the position.

Wow, Congrats to Paul Kloberg!
A wonderful and knowledgeable mentor.

He was a great help at the NYC CeBIT Demo of FIRST held last May at the Javits Convention Center.
I hope he crosses the river to the NY side sometime and mentor NYC too.

When FIRST sent out the announcements that they were looking for FIRST Senior Mentors my immediate thought was "that's Paul".

He has always been an advocate for FIRST all the way, trying to improve the conditions for coaches with the schools, working for the regional, developing off season events and helping start new teams in the region. And he does it because he likes kids and what FIRST is and can be.

The NJ Regional wouldn't be the same without him and I am pleased to have
"The Big Kahuna" as a good friend.

Congratulations to Paul and I encourage all of you to do the same. There are few people I know of in FIRST that are as committed to the cause.

FIRST has made some decisions but I think I'll let them do the "official" announcements.

Thanks Paul. You were a Senior Mentor in NJ long before the program ever existed.

Mr. Paul Kloberg was one of our founding advisors last year and I got a chance to work with him. I was amazed at the time and effort he put into the team to help it grow. On behalf of all of team 1403, I would like to congratulate and thank Mr.Kloberg. Without your tremendous effort we would not be where we are today. Thank you Mr.Kloberg, keep doing what you do best. I will see you in Atlanta!!!

GO 1403!!!
