FIRST Withdrawal?

[-Lori]

Having been an active member of FIRST for over 4 years (read employee!)...and now NOT being there for over 3 months...I have experienced my own withdrawals. I went to the Kick-off (keeping a very low profile) just to see how things were going...and I went home depressed....depressed because I wasn't part of the excitement any more...not a part of helping the teams anymore...not a part of the anticipation of the revealing of the new game...not a part of getting the teams through the tough bumps they hit along the way......
I am going to miss not being at the Regional Competitions this year...the hecticness of it all...the fun of it all...you know, the whole 'FIRST' experience. And the Championship! There's nothing like it! Boy, will I miss that!
But Jayda is thriving and so is our business...I guess I can't have everything!

I wish all the teams well. I miss you! I miss talking with you on a daily basis. I hope to visit the UTC regional and see some of you....maybe!

Until then........have a winning season!
