LAS VEGAS REGIONAL... terminated?

Just a notice to all of you out there. FIRST is set to make a decision about pulling the plug on the LVR. A recommendation to terminate our regional from FRC Regional Operations staff is going to be made to the Board on Wednesday, due to difficulty retaining teams and some sponsorship shortfalls the last few years. This has resulted in FIRST having to lend some financial support to help us balance our budget. We are fighting hard to convince the board that with our economic recovery locally we should be able to balance the books on our own now but right now things look bleak without new and additional sponsorship support assured.

The result of this regional's termination will be devastating to our local FRC programs and greatly impact FTC growth efforts. I expect no more than 3-4 local teams will have the financial resources to attend out of state regionals and the rest of the teams will not return. To all of you outside teams that joined us over the years, thank you for your support...and to all of my fellow local teams that won't survive FIRST pulling the rug out from under us...I am sorry if FIRST decides we just aren't worth supporting any more.
